A friend is someone who...

Comes over and cleans your bathroom when you're too big and tired to do it yourself. AND, she does it with a smile on her face!

Here is Rachel, scrubbing away at my shower with a smile! Isn't she the greatest? Rachel gave me the best birthday present this year, coupons for housecleaning! This is how I used my first one... She was far too kind and said how the bathroom really wasn't that bad, but the truth is...it really needed some TLC! It's still sparkling!

Not only did Rachel come over and clean my bathroom, she also helped me get the room ready for baby! She organized, washed clothes, even transformed my bathroom into a more baby/kid themed room! And look at these cute decorations?

Thank you, Rachel, for coming over and helping me! You have no idea how much this meant to me!

My Baby Shower

My Sister
Rachel & Sarah

Threw me a wonderful baby shower! I had such a great time, and all the guests did too! There was lots of food, fun, family and friends....I just couldn't have asked for a better time.

My Mom was a silent 4th partner!

Wow I have generous family and friends!!!!

And what baby shower is complete without a visit from Santa? Yes, we were totally surprised by a visit from Silverton's Santa, who was out riding on a vintage fire truck for a canned food drive. We were even more surprised when he came in for a few photos and gave all the kids candy canes!

Here I am with 4 of my pregnant friends! At least 3 more had already left or couldn't make it to the shower....I am so glad to share this experience with so many other special ladies!

Thank you Erica, Rachel, Sarah and Mom for all your hard work throwing me this wonderful shower! Thank you to all my family and friends for sharing this special day with me and for all the wonderful, adorable baby gifts!
