Paragould Shower

Every time a person in our family gets married or has a baby my family (more specifically my aunts) hosts a shower for them.  The shower had been scheduled for a month or so but after my Popo passed away I assumed it would be cancelled.  My aunts insisted on having the shower after all.  It was really nice to spend so much time with family that week.  We all needed to spend time together and it was a happy way to end the weekend.

The hostesses:  Aunt Melinda, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Karen, and Aunt Judy

Beautiful blanket Momo made for Elle.

Thanks Aunt Karen for the cute diaper bag!

An "Elle" wreath that my cousin Kersten made.  Love it!

My cousins on the Ellington side:

Mallory, Meredith, Lucy, myself, Kersten, Ashley, and April

Chloe or Maggie (I'm not sure she's a twin) taking a picture of her big sister Emerson. How cute!

The ladies on the Riggs side: Kelley, Aunt Jean, myself, mom, Aunt Barbara holding Jenna Brooke, and Stacy

Kathy  had ordered a diaper cake for us filled with toys, receiving blankets, hats, and socks for the Paragould shower.  Since we had to rush out of town, it was not ready in time for the shower.  She surprised us with it when we came through Mountain Home on our way back to Rogers.  

Thanks for the diaper cake Mimi and Grandpa!

I also have to wish my sweet husband a Happy Birthday!  His birthday was on Thurs, November 4th but with baby stuff and family stuff he did not get the celebration that he deserves!  We finally went to dinner this Friday (a week later) and celebrated.  I love you very much and cannot imagine life without you.  You are a great husband and I know you will be a great daddy! Love you!
