We had a baby shower at our house on October 5 to celebrate with all of our North Carolina friends!! These friends have become more like family to us in this crazy Army life. We celebrate birthdays, Thanksgivings, football games, babies and everything in between with these friends and it makes living away from home so much easier and more enjoyable. We had about 30 adults and 15 kids running around, mostly indoors since it was unusually hot that day. It had been so nice and fall-like, but that day it decided to be sunny and a hot 80+ degrees! But that didn't stop the kids from running around the back yard and playing in the North Carolina clay! All of the kids left our house with orange stained clothes and skin haha!
Our shower was hosted by two of my best friends, Kiley and Tori! These ladies are so good to me and went above and beyond to make me feel special and loved. And you can tell how much they love little Lainey already!! They did a fantastic job on every little detail of the shower and worked so hard for months leading up to it. I can't thank them enough!! And they put up with Jimbo's shenanigans!
We did a Baby BBQ co-ed shower and it was so much fun! The menu was perfect for a BBQ and included homemade pulled pork, burgers, hot dogs, chili, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, salad, fruit, coleslaw, sweet tea and pink lemonade. The girls got pecan pie (my favorite!!) and some awesome cupcakes and cookies for dessert! Now for some pictures...
