Family Baby Shower

Last weekend Derrick's family threw us the best baby shower! Leanna and Kevin were in town with Ellie and Jesse and we won't get to see them again before Furnace is born so we had a family shower that was SO nice! I LOVED it and it was such a great way to start our baby celebrations that we have going on this month.

How cute is this diaper wreath? And it had so many other goodies in it including a lot of rattles and car seat toys which I'm really excited about.



Those ducks have heat sensors on the bottom and will tell you if your baby's bath water is too hot. Genius!


Derrick's mom had some really cute games planned including price is right, a diaper toss, and a "don't drop the baby" water balloon toss. I got totally soaked in the balloon toss and drastically underestimate the cost of baby items in the price is right game. Derrick and I are in for a rude awakening I think!


Dad and Jay were able to come to the shower to represent the Williams family and was so glad to have them there. It was their first baby shower and I think they both really enjoyed it. They ended up tying for the win in the balloon toss and Jay won the bottle candy count.

The hit of the shower was the onesie making station. Derrick's mom is amazing! She has a cricut vinyl cutter and a heat press. A HEAT PRESS! So these onesies are professional! Amazing! She had a whole row of them pre-made lining the windows. The light is washing the pictures out a bit but just look at those!



And then she had all these pre-cut options and blank onesies so everybody got to design their own. Just incredible and SO fun!




We wrapped up with gifts and everybody was so generous and so thoughtful! It's clear everybody is excited for Furnace to make his debut.


When the shower was over we transitioned into the family fantasy football draft. Jay roped dad into assisting him with his draft and they proceeded to sit like this for the next two hours. I finished the onesies and then napped on the couch :)


My parents set us up with our stroller at the shower and we put it together when we got home. It was super simple to do and we are loving the red!


Shout out to Momma Marcey for doing the bulk of the planning and organizing of the shower. It was so amazing and we loved every second of it! We are so lucky to have such great family all around and seriously so lucky that our families can gather together so seamlessly. It makes bringing this guy into the world that much more exciting!
