I don‘t even know were to begin. Our shower this past Sunday was absolutely perfect. From the beautiful sweets table, to the homemade food made by our family and friends, tons of beautifully wrapped presents, onsie and bib station (which people amazed me with their creativity), special message cards to our baby girls and most importantly being surrounded by the best family and friends any girl could ask for. I felt so loved and so spoiled! A couple of months ago I was not even going to have a shower. There is not an hour that goes by that I am not thinking about Sophia and Alexa, so how could I manage my emotions enough to get through a shower in their honor? I must say that I was happy that I did because being around family and friends is exactly what I needed at that point. I will never forget the pain that we are dealing with but it was a day were I could just enjoy being pregnant with our twin girls. I have not had that feeling in quite sometime. Thank you to everyone for just being there to celebrate our girls and not to be sad or talk about the “what if”.. It was a perfect afternoon with family and friends preparing us for our girls to enter into this world and I can’t thank you all enough for making us feel so comfortable and for understanding what Bill and I are going through.
Special thank you to
*Niki for her delicious veggie lasagna and to my aunts for their yummy side dishes!
*Mary, Katie, Casey and my Aunt Laura for their delicious fancy deserts which complimented the sweets table perfectly
*Heather R for her homemade princess onsie cookies that were not only adorable but also so delicious!*Mama W and Chrissy for making the trip down and making her famous Chicken Salad.
*Special thank you to my little sisters Gabrielle and Madison for their hand written letters to me that I couldn’t read at the shower because I knew I would get upset. They were the sweetest letters I have ever read and I will keep them forever.
*My Dad and brother for moving all the heavy furniture around the house and setting up the tent outside.. Good thing you were still able to fit in 18 holes that day or I would have really felt bad!
*And of course to my mom and my sister Heather for taking days to set up for this shower… Being covered in white chocolate and cup cake mix, elbows deep in lasagna to making lime lemonade by scratch until 12am just because I wanted pink and green special drinks… This list would never end if I had to list all that you two put into our special day and I can not thank you enough for making this a shower I will never forget.
Billy and I are so very grateful for you all!
Can’t wait for our Burlington shower hosted by my amazing mother-in-law in just 2 weeks! I am sure I will love it just as much!
