Shower Weekend (Saturday)

Saturday was the day of the shower. My mom and Vicki McPherson hosted it at Glen Eagles Country Club.  It was a gorgeous venue, and fun to revisit since we also had our Rehearsal Dinner there almost 5 years ago!

The place settings were so beautiful. My mom did a great job picking out the table linens and flowers. Notice the napkins are folded like diapers and pinned closed with a diaper pin... she is so creative!!

Vicki ensured that we had the fabulous chocolate and raspberry cake... look how beautiful the cake table was! It was hands-down the best cake I've ever tasted.


The adorable "puppy basket" from Vicki:


My mom wrote me a very special poem, and read it at the beginning of the shower. It was so thoughtful and touching... I had no idea she was such a talented poet.


I had the best day visiting with my favorite people, and unwrapping so many generous gifts for Baby Riley.  He is already a very spoiled little boy!! Thank you so much everyone, for everything!! Also - thank you so much to our family and friends from out-of-town who couldn't be there... you were all there in spirit.

Julie, Melinda, Nanci, Libby, Heidi, and Daphne

Vicki, Layla, Lisa, Mom, Aunt Mary, Carol, and Barbara

So happy about all these wonderful gifts!

How cute is this hooded towel!?

 Barbara Crysdale knitted this beautiful blanket of a guardian angel for Baby Riley, how special!

Thanks for everything Mom & Lib... Love you both!!
