Baby Showers

A couple weeks ago I had a day of baby showers. In the afternoon my friends Cristina and Melissa hosted a shower for me. The guests included a wonderful collection of friends from my childhood, years at Ricks College, and my time at BYU. The shower had a jungle theme to go with our nursery. It was so much fun to see friends I haven't seen for a long time!
Childhood friends!
College friends
Graduate school friends
Melissa made the most adorable jungle cupcakes!
Cristina's mom made these fun take-home treats!
The wonderful hostesses - Melissa and Cristina

Later that same evening a friend in my ward threw me another shower. They did a jungle theme for that shower as well. It was an open house so I didn't get a good group picture of everyone who came.

They gave me this banner to take home, it is hanging up ready to welcome our little guy!

It is crazy how much stuff you need to get ready for a baby! Thank you everyone for helping us get prepared!
