Tyla on the right and Sonya her sister on the left were the host of this great shower!
We started with mingling and getting a great opportunity to talk with everyone there. Then we had a wonderful brunch. After we finished we had yummy cake and then a devotional unique to something I've never done. The silver tree you see in some of the pictures was called a blessing tree. The ladies were asked to put down a one word blessing on a star and hang it on a tree. Once it was time to start I picked a star and said what it was and the person that had written it explained why she chose that blessing. It was really good and a wonderful memory for our little girl.
After the blessing tree it was present time. I was blessed with wonderful gifts ranging from diapers, wipes, adorable outfits and unique gifts.
Once we finished, we just talked as a group, shared stories and had a great time in laughter. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to a great memory.
One extra that Sonya and Tyla did which I just adore was everyone painting little onesies at any point during the shower.
Here is auntie Tyla with Sonya's little boy painting one of the onsies.
Once we got home Joel and dad checked out the gifts!
Joel and I are so thankful for the friends and family that are around us that have and are making these moments so special. We can hardly wait to see our little princess.
You look so beautiful, Nancy! How fun to have special friends to give you a special shower! Looks like you got some great gifts and I love the tree idea.

I'm so delighted for you! I am, however, disappointed that I didn't know about the shower b/c I totally would have driven out for it. Will anyone else be throwing one for you? I can't wait to see you & keep tossing around the idea of an impromptu drive to Tech country! :-) Love you, dear friend!
