Parenthood

Baby Shower Weekend

I’ve been meaning to post about the wonderful baby showers that we had over Easter weekend.

On Saturday, we celebrated with 67 of our friends in our new home, complete with bouncy house rental for the kids. I was bummed not to have taken any pictures as we had friends present from all walks of life, including dear friends who came from Seattle and LA. Boo! Luckily, here are a few photos that people sent my way.

On Easter Sunday, my parents hosted a joint Easter celebration and baby shower with 46 family members. I don’t have any pictures from that party, ugh!

Hanging out with 100+ people over one weekend was certainly exhausting. Dean and I crashed early on Easter Sunday, but had fun hanging out with so many friends and family members before our baby’s arrival.

    Looks like such a great time! One of the guys in the photo is a dead ringer for one of my good friends. He lives in Paris, though, so I know it’s not him but I did a double take.
    wonderful photos of the two of you!

    The awful thing about hosting events, is that is SOOOO hard to get great pictures of the actual event because you are busy entertaining! I said that for all the future events I do, I will have a dedicated photographer for capturing the event itself. I am still so happy for you! From the pictures you did get, it looks like you had a lovely time and truly showered with love! Congrats again Catherine! I hope you all are beginning to adjust! 🙂
