our virtual shower!

What a week!  Kalin's mom flew in last Sunday evening to spend some time with us and to be here for when we celebrated our Virtual Shower for Elsa!  Kalin's wonderful Aunties came up with the idea to throw us a shower long-distance and had all the gifts arrive at a specific time then we'd open them all on a certain day.  But it was so so so much more than that!

I had been getting a little bit of work done before the shower and came out to the living room decorated in all shades of pink ~ there were even pink MnM's and Kisses in little bottles!  It was so much fun to see all the fun decorations that the Aunties sent!  We had a small little group of people over to the house - my parents, Kalin's mom, my grandma and grandpa (his first baby shower!) and my cousin Ashly.  We picked up some pizza and then started opening our piles and piles of gifts!  It was such a wonderful evening with our little virtual shower.  I have a stack of papers with great advice & fun stories about myself & Kalin and can't wait to share them with Elsa later on...plus there were some pictures of little Kalin sent too, which I just love so much!  I can't say how thankful we were for this incredible shower and we just feel so blessed to be loved by so many people and that makes us feel confident that Elsa's going to be growing up surrounded by so much love, even states away!  Thank you Aunties!!!

Here's some pictures from our celebration night



And now we have our new books put away and the first load of laundry done...we certainly are getting close!
