I don't really know where to begin in recapping my amazing baby shower experience!
I had no idea going in to Saturday what to expect, other than that my awesome family had worked really hard and were VERY excited for their chosen theme. The big reveal as A and I walked in was wonderful. No, really . . . "WONDERFUL Wizard of Oz," of course!
The Oz "Welcome to Munchkinland" shower was just perfect. The big day combined so many of my favorite things in to a loving and exciting celebration.
First of all, LOOK AT THIS AMAZING STUFF!

The invitation, and handmade art for Henry by Aunt Kelly! |
|
Aunt Amber made these adorable signs for the room, including this lollipop! |
|
Aunt Maria made this adorable diaper cake, complete with a yellow brick road! |
|
Welcome to Munchkinland - OH MY! |
|
Yes. This is a knocked-up Dorothy. Personally? I suspect the Scarecrow... |
|
The yellow brick road for the mama-to-be, including ADORABLE ruby slipper socks! |
|
Just two preggys... |
|
My mom! She put in so much work on this shower! |
|
My sister, who also worked so hard all the way from TN! |
|
A's side of the family - I love this family portrait! |
|
My family! So happy to have them all in my life. |
Obviously this was just THE BEST. We were truly showered with love from our friends and family, and when we left had two full car loads of gifts for Henry! Somehow we found homes for most of it, though we have a lot of BIG boxes in the basement just waiting for a certain someone to show up and use their contents! I was honestly so overwhelmed by the generosity of the people in our lives.
We are so loved, and it was thrilling to see how many people are excited to meet this little guy. I welled up with tears quite a few times during the shower, and I'm doing so now. How can you not be emotional when shown so much love?
We are incredibly, incredibly lucky.
So glad that you enjoyed it. We loved doing it for you, Alex and Henry!
