Our Freezer Is Stocked - Woooo Hoooo!

I have such dear friends here, I count my blessings every day! This past weekend, Maggie, Jenn, Jill, Mandy and Julie threw a baby shower for baby "?" and I! It was so much fun! We played a really sweet game based on 20 questions Jill had asked Marc ahead of time about the pregnancy and our parenting... I just loved hearing his answers! The food was fabulous (I hit the jackpot with friends that could cook!) including 2 quiches, 2 salads, 2 types of bread and many different cheesecakes! And one of the coolest things I have heard, baby shower wise, is that each guest was asked to bring a frozen meal for our freezer!!! That's awesome! Especially since this is baby, and boy #2, meals are the BEST thing we could receive. But they didn't stop there! I also got the softest, cutest outfit to bring the baby home in... including a matching blanket, a gift card to help with any extra purchases I might want to make AND a few other special gifts so this baby can have some of his very own things (as in not all hand-me-downs). They even included invitations to the grandmas and aunts who helped us celebrate from afar! I was spoiled royally! As were Marc (who will appreciate not having to cook right away, especially with all the diapers he'll be changing :)) and Benjamin (who got a special basket of treats and toys just for becoming a big brother and a big box of goodies from Grandma)! It was such a special day!

Me with Jill Peterson, Julie Russell, Jenn Rivard, Mandy Cunniff and Maggie Schierberl - love, love, love these ladies (and not just because they gave me such a wonderful shower :))!

The shower was held in Jenn's beautiful home.

One of the many cute "extra" gifts... a snugly soft cars themed outfit!

Such nice friends you have! The freezer meal thing is a good idea...especially, like you said, since you'll have two little boys to take care of. Can't beat good girlfriends. :)
