I'm a little late posting this. We had our first baby shower for Hollyn a few of Saturdays ago. (May 7). I wanted to make this shower co-ed/family friendly so Jeff could be a part of one (And I think co-ed showers are becoming more popular). So we made it less girly by having it at a park and grilling hot dogs... manly food ;)
We had a great turn out and it was so wonderful to get to celebrate this amazing blessing with our friends.

| The spread... mmmm! |
 |
| A beautiful diaper cake made by Kelsey |
 |
| Kelsey made these adorable blessing trees for people to right advice and words of encouragement. |
 |
| Jeff's sweet grandma (Marti) lives close to the Jelly Belly factory in Cali so she ordered us tons of "It's a Girl!" jelly beans. So sweet! |
 |
| The cake... "For this child I have prayed." 1 Sam 1:27 |
 |
| Yes, that is my best friend, Kelsey, who had her emergency c-section just 4 days prior and released from the hospital just the day before the shower... crazy girl! :) |
 |
| Jeff getting some good practice. |
 |
| Present time! |
 |
| My awesome friend Trina made this for Hollyn... |
 |
| and this... |
 |
| and this! (As well as an adorable pillowcase dress!) |
Ok, this is a play by play of me opening part of Kelsey's gift to Hollyn. Normally I wouldn't post pics of me making stupid faces but the truth is, baby stuff just brings the faces out!
 |
| Kelsey had special ordered some handmade items from one of our friends who has an Etsy shop. (Sweettulipsboutique) |
 |
| There was also a burp cloth and travel wet wipe case with "Hollyn" embroidered on them. |
 |
| Ain't that the truth! ;) |
 |
| Our friends (and parents... and my sis)! |
