We have been so blessed by the support from our family and friends throughout this adoption. Everyone has been so excited for us, especially as it gets SO MUCH CLOSER!!!
I was so lucky and very grateful to have a few showers thrown to welcome Claire!!
The first one was hosted by my mom and sister. It was BEAUTIFUL. I wish I had taken a picture of the invitation but I didn't. I have it saved but time is very very limited now so I'm not going to go back and post it :)
The shower had a Chinese theme and it was just gorgeous and so much fun.
The party favors-aren't they perfect? The chopsticks say "oh happy day!" and, in case you don't know, the cookie is in the shape of China. Laura made them, aren't they adorable? There's a heart on them where Claire lives.
More beautiful decorations.
The other table. My dad served all of the ladies a yummy Chinese lunch!
The lady of the hour, Claire!! (I keep calling her Claire Bear so that's what I keep wanting to write! :))
Me with the hostesses..Elizabeth helped to host too.
Bad photo but I had to post a picture of the desserts, everyone got their own little cake and there's a chocolate fortune cookie on top!
I look pretty crazy in all of the present opening pictures but I just had to post a picture of these adorable pink toms!!
Most of the ladies who attended!
Then my friends from MOPS hosted a beautiful shower for me!!!
So so cute! The colors are the colors of Claire's room. :)
Adorable!!!
My two wonderful friends who hosted this beautiful shower, Leanne and Summyr!!
My MOPS friends!
The third shower that I was lucky enough to have was hosted by my wonderful friends Kristen and Shelby, who also happen to be neighbors! So they had the neighbor ladies over and a few friends from Cooper's school.
It was such a fun theme, and perfect for a girl...princesses!!!
I had to post a picture of the gift table because see that quilt on the table? Kristen made it for Claire!!! Isn't that amazing? I love it and it matches her room perfectly!
Almost all the lovely ladies who attended the shower!
I'm a table leader at MOPS and at our last leader meeting they had a little shower for me where I received some cute things and diapers!!! I forgot to take pictures, but I didn't want to leave them out! :)
As I said, we have been SO blessed with support and I am so so thankful. You should just see the beautiful things we received at the shower! I have many pictures but I decided instead of posting millions of pictures of clothes, you'd probably rather see Claire IN them. And very soon you will!! :)
