In my bird post last week I mentioned that my sister and My Bff Mo had given me a baby shower. Although it was almost a month ago, I wanted to wait to blog about it until I had pictures. And now I do! Because my other friend, Shannon, used her mad skillz and took some awesome photos throughout the day. (She’s really good.) I’m so grateful that she was there and offered to take pictures because I have this problem where I never remember to bring my camera ANYWHERE. This has got to stop after Avalon gets here. I think I’m going to need to super glue my camera to my hand.
They had lots of good food. And made a cute little bird nest-thing around the chip bowl.
The gifts. Isn’t that Moses Basket cool?
This is, of course, where the birds came from that are now framed in Avalon’s room. Such a cute idea at the shower.
Action shot! Although some couldn’t make it, I loved having my close friends with me that day.
Getting ready to open gifts. I must have been excited. Sorry Avalon, your mama is a dork. But I’m sure you’ll figure that out yourself in about thirteen years.
Cute shtuff. I got lots of cute shtuff.
My proud and excited mom, soon to be Mamie. She has already spoiled Avalon a lot. This could be dangerous.
The breast pump that my mom bought for me. Do you ever think my mom thought about the day when she would buy her daughter a breast pump? I’m guessing no, just like I’m choosing to not think about me ever buying Avalon a breast pump. LA LA LA, SHE’S NEVER GOING TO GROW UP, LA LA LA.
Thanks for a great baby shower, guys!

NO! I never thought I would be promoting you to do anything with your breasts besides keeping them securely under cover:)
