Hi Friends!
So in addition to the shower thrown by our friends in VA, we were also blessed with a shower from our family in Florida. We had soo much fun! Jason and I actually made a whole trip out of this visit. We stayed in Orlando for a full week and although we have friends and family whom we could have stayed with, we spent a few nights at the Universal Orlando Resort so that we could feel like full-on tourists! It was our babymoon :-) We walked on CityWalk and ate at some of their wonderful restaurants, shopped, went to the movies, and hung out by the pool. We had a blast! And while we were in Orlando, we also went to see the Broadway Musical "The Lion King"...It was fabulous! I highly recommend that if it comes to your area, go and see it!
Within this same trip, we attended Jason's Masters Graduation as well as his sister's Undergraduate Graduation. And as if that wasn't enough, we attended our baby shower! So I hope you enjoy the pics! I'll provide some commentary and then make some remarks at the end! Enjoy :-)
My mom made the decorations herself with her scrapbooking machine!
Greeting family and friends with hugs :-)
Jason doing some greeting too...He's such a great host :-)
Eating and chatting...The food was sooo good!
The dessert bar! My cousin Peggy and her daughter, Ashley made these...Yummy!
Listening for instructions for the games....
Game Time! We played the Price is Right...
Laughing and having fun :-)
My hubby and soon to be brother in law's faces when they found out what game we were playing next...LOL...It was a game where the girls feed the guys baby food and they have to drink juice from a bottle...Whoever finishes first, wins! The problem is, all of the flavors were disgusting...LOL...no apples and pears here...More like Chicken with Broccoli and Potatoes and Gravy...Gross!
Playing more games..
Me and my mini-me...Apparently she belongs to my cousins, Jerry and Peggy, but I think she could pass for mine ;-)
Well wishes and prayers from friends...
Family photo time! Me and my in-laws :-)
Daddy and me!

Me and my favorite uncles! They always do so much work anytime my family has functions like these. I am soo grateful for them! They are the best!
And last, but certainly not least, our mommies :-)
We are so blessed to have the most amazing families and friends...Our families provide us a tremendous amount of support and have been such a critical and instrumental part of our lives. Thank you to all of you and for everyone who attended the shower, sent gifts, prayed for us, and wished us well...We are forever grateful!
In addition to the crazy amount of fun we had, we also received an exorbitant amount of gifts! We have literally had to purchase almost nothing for little Peanut due to the generosity and support from all of our shower family and friends (both here and in "Showered with Love" pt. 1)..Thank you all soo very much! We are more grateful than we could ever express in words...
