baby shower mania

My best childhood friend Alli, who by the way happened to introduce me to my husband in the fifth grade, is having her first baby in a little over a month.  I am so excited for her and her husband.  They are going to be great parents and she is an adorable pregnant lady.  I would share a photo but I didn't really run it by her first so perhaps another time.  You'll just have to take my word - she is all baby and so cute!  Well this past weekend we had a baby shower for her and her little bundle of joy.  Oh, I forgot to mention - they are having a boy - Tommy Jr.!  Now I know sometimes it can be bad to go off the registry but I wanted to do something different for her - more personal.  I mean we've been friends since grade school - we use to pretend we were twins - for reals.  So I really wanted to put lots of love into my gifts.  So I put together this trifecta of goodies.

Something warm & cozy for baby

Something warm & cozy for mommy

and something warm & cozy for to share

So put all together it looks like this:

I hope she enjoyed the gift.  I really enjoyed creating these things knowing they were for Alli and little Tommy Jr.

Know I just can't wait to meet the little guy.
