Family time

On Saturday, I had a family shower hosted by my Mom. I left to visit a friend (my mom wanted me out of the house so she could set up), and I came back to a wonderful surprise! She made this diaper cake - diapers wrapped in receiving blankets, and on the table were things like pacifiers, socks, headbands, and toy. And the duck is awesome - on the bottom it has a temperature sensor and will let you know if the water is too hot for the baby. The house looked so awesome! Thanks mom! And yes, my face is a little bit red. We went up to Bear Lake on Labor Day, and I forgot to wear sunscreen. Not so good.Another shot of Lizzy & me (and my sister Katie!). Lizzy just came from a soccer game and was a little tired, and in a mood to cuddle. I didn't mind!
Opening gifts - people were so generous! It amazes me. We were able to get quite a few essentials (crib mattress, things like that) and a lot of cute clothes. Thanks everyone!
And the best for last - my mom finished the quilt. She threatened not to show me until I told her a name, but she wrapped it up for me and surprised me. It is so beautiful. You can't see all the details on the squares - she sewed/quilted butterflies on all the larger rectangles and flowers & vines on the smaller ones. So beautiful! Love you MOM!!
