While my sister was here, she and my mom hosted a most lovely baby shower for me and little Champ. It was especially nice for me because of the people who were there: Rachel was home and many of my aunts and cousins came too as well as the family like friends that we’ve known for ages. Here are some photos:

Mom, Kelly (Champ), and Rachel
Me and Mel (one of the “downthestreets”). Her baby is due the week after Champ. Crazy times! Tim’s baby is just a food baby. Lucky Tim!

- Mel & Kel
Mom made delicious cupcakes and we had other wonderful foods and tea on proper tea cups!

These are my favorite!

Hold on! What's this?!?!? There's a baby in there!
Regrettably, I did not think to take a photo of the whole group and most of the photos of me opening gifts don’t have me actually holding up the items so you can see how cute it is. Thank you to everyone who came! We have so many lovely things now and we’re beginning to feel more prepared for little Champ’s arrival in March. It was great to see everyone and I’m thankful that folks were able to make time during the craziness between Thanksgiving and Christmas to spend time with us.
so fun Kelly! So glad your family could all be there for your shower! You need to post pics of the nursery!
