We had such a great weekend this holiday weekend!!! My sister's threw us an amazing baby shower on Saturday July 5th at 6:00pm, at one of the party rooms at the West End Volunteer Fire Dept. They had done such an amazing job on the whole thing. They had it themed in Red, White, & Blue for not only the colors of the United States, but also the colors of the Russian Flag. They had invited many of our close family and friends, but unfortunately not a whole lot of them seemed to make it. I think the holiday may have played a part in that. We still had an amazing time sharing in the great food and friendship. Sharing pictures and stories about Russia with them was truly one of the best parts. My sisters had pictures of Alyssa all over, and they had made me a button to wear that had Alyssa's and my picture on it. Wade's mom Pat and his Aunt Twyla had came in from West Virginia, and it was truly a blessing to share the shower with them. My sister Cheri had made the cake, and it was beautiful!!! It had our daughter's picture on the top, which brought tears to my eyes!!! They had red, white, and blue balloons and favors on the tables. It was truly an American celebration themed shower. We received many, many wonderful gifts!!! Clothes that were 18 months - 24 months in size. A diaper Genie which is what I really wanted to keep the stinky diapers at bay!!! We got baby wipes, sippy cups, baby utensils, stuffed animals, a toothfairy pillow, and many, many other gifts. We also got a homemade blanket from Twyla, it is simply beautiful!!!! We would love to thank everyone who came and shared in this blessed event!!! Alyssa is truly loved already!!! Just wait until you all get to meet her!!!!
P.S. Thanks so much to my sisters Cheri & Lori, and my mom Donna for throwing us this amazing baby shower!!!! I am so blessed to have you in my life!!!! Alyssa will be so lucky to have your love and hugs!!! Julie
