Baby Shower

On Saturday March 14th my parents gave Ava a baby shower. Their house was packed with family and good family friends. This was the first time many of them met Ava and it was nice to have all of the support and love.

Since I don't like traditional baby showers my parents kept it causual with a yummy assortment of bite-sized desserts and no games....Thanks Mom!! They also got a cute Noah's Ark cake and a friend bought "It's a girl" hershey kisses. We were overwhelmed by the generousity of all our family and friends. Ava received many nice gifts and some money to start her college fund. Ava is especially exicted to spend her gift cards. She is not sure what she is going to get yet, but a baby bath tub is at the top of the list (we're hoping it will make bathtime more enjoyable).

Ava enjoyed meeting everyone and was worn out for the rest of the night. She is grateful for all the nice gifts she received and wants to say, "THANK YOU"!! Her parents were also worn out from the days events, but were happy to share their beautiful baby girl. Ava is a blessing in our life and we are proud to show her off.
