Michigan Baby Shower

Our little family has been very blessed to have so many caring family members and friends in our lives.  We have had two baby showers already (Michigan and Portland) and one coming up in a week here in Muncie put on by some wonderful women from church.  I registered at Target early on in the summer and spent HOURS poring over what brands/items were best for baby.  I read so many item descriptions, customer reviews, etc. that I'm pretty sure my eyes were crossed after awhile.  I distinctly remember when I put together my bridal shower registry not caring a thing about reviews...if I thought it was cute, we put it on the registry!  Now with a baby involved, I really wanted to make sure we got our money's worth and that what we received was, most importantly, SAFE!  I think the hours of reading really served us well; not only were we blessed with everything we wanted/needed, but we're resting assured that the items are of good quality.

The first shower was in Michigan in mid-July.  My sweet mother-in-law, Michele, hosted.  I think she had a really cute idea...we had the shower at an adorable tea room in Frankenmuth!  It doesn't get much more quaint than that!  Those who were invited were Kyle's extended family, but I think we all enjoyed the elegance that Sue and Esther gave us :)  The perfect location, really, for a girly baby shower:














Like I said...CUTE!  I'd never been to a tea house before.  They had several types of little sandwiches, fruits, and desserts (the scones were to die for!) and everyone got either a soup or salad with their tea (or, in my case, water).  The place settings were absolutely perfect and after we finished at the tea house, Michele and Grandma Brenda took me to Bronner's Christmas Wonderland!  I bought a First Christmas ornament for the baby as well as a couple of other cute Christmas items.  Although I feel like Kyle and I are in a golden age (excitedly anticipating the arrival of our baby while savoring the last few weeks of "just us" time), I really can't wait for the holidays with our little girl.  I'm so excited!

It was such a great trip, really.  I invited Kyle to come along, but of course he pooh-poohed our "chick showers."  Gotta love that kid!
