Grayson's Baby Shower

We didn't squeeze in a shower before Grayson arrived, so we had one afterward!  It was great!  Nat couldn't come in town the weekend Grayson was born because they were sick, so she came the next weekend and figured we may as well do a shower then when my mom was still here (Angie was just here the weekend before, so I didn't want to make her come right back up for the last minute shower).  My friend Shayla joined in on the planning, and it was quite the party!!  I've never seen such an elaborate shower that was planned in just a few days!  And a lot of people came on such short notice, so I felt so lucky!  I have the best family and friends.

 

 

 

...and the STAR OF THE SHOW all dressed up in his suit and tie.  Presh.

Happy 29th to Me!

Well, it's my last year in my 20's!  I still feel like I just graduated high school, but I guess the years keep passing by!  I've quite enjoyed my years in my later 20s, so here's to one more!
The day before my birthday, we ventured out to Benihana with some friends to use my birthday coupon.  Grayson wanted in on the action, and I didn't mind including him.  (That's one red-lookin baby.)

The next day, Mom, Hazel, and I went to Panera for lunch, and then Nat and her kids came into town!  Mom got me a mini cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, which was delicious!

Angie got me several, random bday gifts that I love like makeup, lotion, and Justin Timberlake's new CD; James got me a good headset so I can chit chat on the phone, hands-free; and here's a picture of my favorite gifts of all time!
