Thank You FRC of Grand Rapids!

Our church does a baby shower for the first child born to each family in our congregation.  It is always a fun time together and I have always enjoyed going for other showers, but it is different when it ends up being your own.  I have a new appreciation for the overwhelming feeling that each new mother gets as they are piled high with all kids of gifts and clothes and cards.

Here are the pictures from the evening.

Getting ready to open gifts

Avery was passed around for everyone to see :)

Cute girls!  ... and the pile of gifts on the table behind them.

Admiring the cute cloths Avery received

These large gifts were from those who contributed toward bigger items like...

a highchair,

and convertible car seat.

Delicious food!

Even Rebekka got to hold Avery!
