Our Madelyn Shower

Jeez, what an amazing day! Being a guy, I have never been a part of anything like this before. I know showers are something that people just wanna knock out, and it's all about the gifts, but it was much more than that for us. Steph has been wanting to get together with friends and family, and this was the perfect opportunity. We had over 50 people at our house to hang out with, talk to, and eat and drink with. We had pasta with red sauce, penne with chicken and broccoli, a huge salad with pepperoni and mozzarella, tons of fruit and veggie trays, onion dip, raspberry cake from Diane, the lady who made our wedding cake. Brownies, chips and dips, sangria, red and white wine..tons of beer and pop.....It was amazing

Most importantly, we were both overwhelmed at the outpouring of love for us. People sewed, crafted, painted, and bought things for our daughter. It was great to get so many nice things to help in raising our daughter, but most importantly it was great to see people smiling, having a good time, and being a part of a most special day. Here's a pic of Steph and me holding our cake.

Here's a picture of all the gifts in my office. Insane!!

Our friends Mike and Cathy painted Madelyn's name on some block letters. We love the designs and colors...We're gonna put these over her crib!

Here are some other pics from the shower. Thank you to everyone who came out, we can never thank you enough!!
