Sprinkle a Lot of Love

This Saturday was the baby shower, or "sprinkle" if you will, for Mommy and Baby Harlan.  We had such a great time!

 Big Sis Waverly was ready to party, with her blue bow-bow and "Big Sister" button.

The baby shower was at a local elementary school and it was such a good location.  The kids had toys to play with and there was plenty of room for everyone. 


 Waverly had a blast playing with her cousins!  She just loved playing with Sarah, Lacie and Addison.  She also got to see her cousin Elli!

Waverly loved crawling through the tunnel and playing in the tent!


We had lots of food and goodies!  I was really looking forward to my favorite snacks, including pizza rolls, sausage balls, cheese dip and mom's homemade pineapple cheese ball!  And of course, what's a baby shower without some cupcakes?

Great Aunt Phyllis worked hard on all the cookies and candies that were the perfect party favors. 

Waverly decided to help everyone fill their cups with ice...
She did this for almost an hour! 

After a couple of door prizes, it was time to open gifts!

This "diaper dog" was adorable!  The baby clothes were filled with diapers, bibs and socks for baby!



Waverly helped Mommy open some of the presents! 

She even received a few presents herself, for being the big sister and all!  She was really happy with her new clothes and a baby book just for her, too!

When Waverly moved on to play, Mommy opened up more gifts! 

Baby Harlan will be cute and warm this winter in all his new clothes!

Another gift was his first teddy bear...

A soft blanket with his name...

...and a precious baby bag, hand-made by Nana. 


We received so many nice and thoughtful gifts.  It is wonderful to have such great family and friends.  There are not enough words of kindness to return to these good folks.  I hope my simple thank you will suffice.


Our little family feels so very loved.  We do want to thank everyone very much for the gifts and well wishes.  It was a wonderful baby shower!
Thank you all, so very much!
