Shower # 1

Saturday morning Anthony and I headed up to Mass for our Massachusetts Baby Shower hosted by my family. A lovely warm day ( thank god no snow) and a great shower.

Nanie created a candy bar filled with blue candy. There were blue kisses, blue M&M's, blue jellies, blue tootsie rolls and Almond Joys ( but I didn't get any Almond Joys..hmmm) There were "ready to hatch" egg timers, blue bubble gum cigars, pens ( i love pens)and more. Nannie's decorating was of course wonderful and the place looked great!







We feasted on yummy wraps, salads, mushrooms ( DH how would you rate these compared to Anthony's) chicken kaboobs, meatballs and an appetizer spread of Chicken Dip, Pickle Dip, Veggies, and Spinach dip. For dessert we had delicuos cupcakes and carrot cake from Whites, Below is Anthony and I pretending to cut the cake before the guests arrived.....




I think there were about 50 people there and TONS of presents. By the end of opening them all I was so hot and exhausted!! We did so much nice stuff! We got our snap and go carraige, swing, seat, high chair, lots of feeding supplies, socks, onsies, clothes, sheets and bumper pads, toys, blankets, and so many nice books.
Nannie even knit an adorable sweater and hate and a blue baby afghan.

Anthony also got some daddy gifts including a new daddy tool belt, a personalized "Jackon's Dad" Tshirt, a personalized " Mr. Eggplant" apron and some cartoons..funny there aren't pictures of those presents, just me and my 8 chins..hmmm Ill have to have Anthony model his new atire and post pictures!!





Here are just a few pictures from the day...more to come I'm sure as we post ours in a slide show.








It wwas a great day, everyone had a good time and Anthony and I were lucky to receive such great gifts.

Here is a picture of Jackson's room after Anthony unloaded the car.




We spent yesterday going through all out gifts and Anthony put some bigger items together. More pictures on that to follow.

Yesterday was the worst I've felt to date thoughout the past 8 months. My legs are starting to ache and my lower back hurts. But I guess that is to be expected!!! Its all worth it in the end. Tonight we are off to class and I have an early 8am doctors appt tomorrow.

Thank you Mom and Dad for hosting such a great shower for Anthony, myself and Action Jackson. We love you very much!!!! Jackson can't wait to attend his first clubhouse event. He hopes to be on the comittee with Boppie.
