In Savannah, when it rains...it pours!


Saturday, June 27th was a great day!  Aunt Jan & Aunt Paula hosted Caroline's first baby shower in Savannah and it was awesome!!!  

There was plenty of food, family & friends and it was so great to see just how loved this little girl is!  Aunts Jan & Paula have always been very special to Mommy and now Caroline knows how special they are, too!!

Aunt Paula was so sweet and gave Caroline a Baby Einstein Activity Jumper (and knowing how active she is already, this will come in handy) while Aunt Jan gave Caroline a super cool monogrammed passie clip and gift card to Target (which BJ says will be used on diapers! :) )  It was special, too, 'cause Cousin Matt (who couldn't make it) sent Caroline a Baby Journal.  It is really neat and will be fun to write and keep up with all of Caroline's family trees.

Cousin Madison was there, too, and she gave Caroline this really awesome giraffe blanket and Tummy Turtle.  I bet Caroline will be using both of those A LOT!!!  

It was really cool because Maddy bought  both presents with her own money!!!!  Caroline will LOVE THEM!!!!

Madison's Nanny also handmade Caroline a quilt with baby animals on it...so cute!!!



Of course, Mimi, Aunt Leigh & Coach were there.  We didn't get any pictures of Coach, but we did get a shot with Aunt Leigh & Mimi, see:              Great Grandma Josephine came, too!
       

Sweet Caroline got some really pretty presents...Mimi & Mommy's friends have excellent taste for little Southern Belles to be (Daddy doesn't understand why we love monograms but hey, they are just so darn cute!!!!)


      
Aunt Leigh picked out these fun-fetti panties and Mommy loves them!!!  Of course Mimi brought the girl a gift (or two!)...She got Caroline a Butterfly Chandelier for her bedroom from Pottery Barn Kids and a couple outfits from Gymboree.  Ms. Suzanne & Ms. Kelly brought Caroline some beautiful nightgowns that she will absolutely love!!  They are so soft!  The Parkers sent a bag of gifts (including ones for Mimi & Coach)...BJ loved! the monkey passie & turtle night light while Mommy can't wait to put the monogrammed diaper holder in Caroline's room!

Ms. Jamie, Mr. Tommy, Graysen & Charlie brought some bath time fun along with Uncle Ricky & Aunt Gaye, cousins Stephany & Christopher, Jaston & Megan.  Caroline's "Under the Sea" bathroom is going to be awesome!!!  And we LOVE the hooded towels!!

                                    

Aunt Theresa & Uncle Alan gave Mommy a Boppy for Caroline while Great Grandma Josephine  brought Caroline a large stuffed bunny, a bag of crib goodies and the stroller/carseat...which made Mommy really excited because she was afraid Caroline wouldn't get that! :)  Daddy had to put it together this morning and it is SWEET!!!  CLW will be strollin' in style!                 



The best part was at the end of the shower, though, when Daddy gave Mommy a special gift.  He had matching silver bracelets engraved for his girls--LHW & CLW.  They were absolutely beautiful!!!!  And some of the ladies cried!

This was such a special day for Mommy, Daddy & Caroline and we would like to thank everyone who came and celebrated with us--your generosity was overwhelming!  A special thanks goes to Aunts Paula & Jan for making this such a wonderful day!!!!
