Baby Shower in Texas

On Sunday, December 22nd, we had our first baby shower at Lavon Drive Baptist Church in Garland, Texas. This is Aaron's parents home church and where Aaron attended while growing up. Although the timing wasn't the best with Christmas being 2 days out, we didn't really have a choice as we will not be back to Texas before the baby arrives. The ladies that hosted did a great job of pulling everything together. The shower was a come and go style with cake and punch. People that wanted to were able to write down their guess for due date, weight, length and any words of advice they wanted to give. We mingled and opened presents. We received a few items off our registry which were exciting to be able to open. A majority of our gifts were gift cards which were perfect considering the long drive and limited space we had in the car. We will apply the money that we received towards the purchase of our furniture which we were not able to register for. Overall, the afternoon was a lot of fun and very helpful in getting us started with the things we will need. (The picture attached is of all of the hostesses that were able to attend that day.)
