Showered with Love: Celebrating Baby O. in California
Posted by Amy Evelyn Oden , Wednesday, February 29, 2012 12:54 PM
In the past week, we had two baby showers! We are quite overwhelmed by the love & affection & outpouring of gifts & time & energy & creativity. Baby O. is being well provided for by our friends, co-workers, and families!
The first shower was thrown jointly by Academic Programs (my office) & Field Ed. (Patrick's office) from Fuller, and they were very creative with a Winnie the Pooh theme (since we're fans!).
Biscuits with honey butter - so good!!
Donut holes especially for Patrick - and delicious buttermilk mini-cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting!
They gave us so many fun gifts - including an Ergo carrier (which has come highly recommended from many parents) and cute outfits, socks, hats and Pooh toys!
My supervisor's mother-in-law (who helped me with this project awhile back) surprised us with beautiful crocheted blankets and hats, which we had to try on :-).

The second shower was a ladies event - and thrown by some dear gals that I'm so privileged to call friends from church - a polka dot extravaganza! Much like the Oregon shower, I didn't get as many photos as I'd like - but here are at least a few snapshots of all the cuteness.
This cake was amazing!

Love this diaper cake from my creative friend Jaimie. On top is a super cute dress she made!
Looks like so much fun!!! I'm glad you are getting all this love & attention down there.
