The Best Baby Shower Ever

So, I just returned from my baby shower which was incerdible! It could have been 1 person in a bare room and I would have been excited bc/ I was out of the house, but it was much more than that! It was incerdibly beautiful. The food was wonderful, of course, and the best part- they made me scrapbook pages- 2 of each!!!!!!!!!!!!! They rewrote nursery rhymes which were hillarious! I should post the video of everyone reading theirs, but that might get me in trouble with a few people! There were so many gifts and a great mix of fun and practical. Again I am reminded of how blessed I am, not to mention twice blessed with 2 well-loved twins! Thank you so much to all of you who helped and came!

Perhaps the best part was my daughter being there. These things are usually mommies only, but as you all know she's been sad not to have a sister. So, she decided that she and I are sisters. It's really sweet when she calls me sister, or she says, "I'll share with you Mommy because that's what sisters do (I don't tell her not all sisters share)." She has been more excited about the shower than me! Last night, we had our first, of many to come, "Fancy Nancy Party" (named after her favorite book). We did fancy lotion, painted our finger and toenails, and curled our hair. It was her first time to sleep in the pink spongy curlers (I'll post pics soon but can't download them from the couch). Seeing her in those pink curlers reminded me so much of my childhood! This morning, we fixed our hair, put on our matching blue outfits, and added a little make-up. All the while we talked fancy, called each other "Darling" and blew kisses to the boys and told them, "ta-ta" bc/ that's what you do when you're fancy! My fancy girl helped me open all the presents and loved it!

What a great day!
