A shower for baby Cade!

Over Labor Day weekend, some of my closest friends threw a shower for Cade and me. It was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. The desserts, punch, and fruit were great and each table had a "diaper cake" for decoration. What a great idea! A table decoration that will actually be of use someday! There were about 7 or 8 tables, so needless to say, I have plenty of diapers to last us a while. So thanks ladies! Cade and I got all kinds of neat stuff from everyone. Here are just a few pictures that were taken throughout the night. Of course we loved EVERYTHING we received, but this post would be neverending if I put all of it on here. So here is a little sample. Thanks to everyone for all the great gifts. And thanks again to my friends, sister-in-law, cousin, and hopefully someday sister-in-law for a wonderful evening. Love you all and loved the shower!!!

Blanket that matches Cade's bedroom along with his mobile, baskets, and all kinds of other things to match his room. Thanks Gramma Gaye! His room is going to be so stylin'!!! You're the best!

Toy chest for Cade's room. This was his Uncle Kody's and Grandma Debbie painted it and attached little animals and things to it, along with his name on top. So cute and so perfect for his room! It's already filled with toys and blankets! Thanks Grandma!

This cake was made and decorated by my cousin Sarah. She did an awesome job. I hated that it had to be cut and eaten! It was too cute for words!

Here is one of the many diaper cakes my sister-in-law Jessica put together. Some of the themes included SIU, Lindenwood, Baby Einstein, Golf and a few others. Each one was so unique and done so well. I hated to take them apart! I had no idea Jess was so creative. I guess this means I have some rather big shoes to fill when it comes time to return the favor :)


Some cute little onesies for Cade.

This quilt was made by my cousin's good friend and my old neighbor from Louis Wides, Michelle (Mollet) Calvert. She did an amazing job and even put Cade's name on it! Cade received a few other handmade blankets that were all so neat as well. He will have no problem keeping warm or having a place to play!
