The Little Yellow House Shower

We are drenched. We have been showered so much here in wonderful Chattanooga that we honestly don't know where to begin thanking people. Let's start with these amazing friends:Nick, Ashley, Sara, Clay, Nathan, and Kat
These dear friends threw us the most beautiful, elaborate, warm, fun, loving shower at Kat and Nate's Little Yellow House--so much so that I burst into tears when Clay and I got home because I was so overwhelmed with gratitude. Sure, pregnancy (especially third trimester--woah) makes you emotional, but this special event would have made any expectant mother tear up.
My special, special family. How lucky am I that all three of them made the effort to be with us this weekend. I have the greatest family ever.
Could this look any more appetizing?
Blue baby booties on petit fours. Precious.
Ashley MADE this centerpiece: sparkling tree branches featuring the shower favor:
Couldn't get any sweeter.

Yum. Wish I could have one (a mimosa that is. Don't worry--I have been eating so much chocolate that I think this little guy is going to come out crying for KitKats)
These guys are fun.
Awesome girlfriends Sarah, Kat, Mary, Lindsay, and Ashley.
The beautiful hostesses.
I am slightly obsessed with this picture of Joe, Rachel, and baby Joseph. Aren't they the cutest family?
Mary and KatAugusta and precious Mary Mae
Our "thrones" for the shower.
Kat's stepmother MADE this--special.
Reading baby advice from Amanda
Blue and white baby booties from Dodd and Ross. Perfect for McC football games.
My Crimson Tide devoted husband was not thrilled with this gift. I have a feeling our child will never wear this TN onesie--at least not during football season.
I just love Kat's laugh on this one.
How cute--and tiny--are these shorts? Thank you Carey and Mark!!!
Woohoo! We now have a high chair!
This is the moment I started to lose it. Mom, Dad, and Brittany wheel in this final gift...and I have a really exciting suspicion that it is the Chicco Cortina Travel System Stroller I have researched and fallen hard for these past few months.
Look at all those fancy Johnson&Johnson products in the seat--my sister rocks.
We now have a car seat! We can now have this baby!
Once again, a humbling, exciting, overwhelming baby shower.
I am so, so grateful.
