Couple's Baby Shower

This past weekend, we had a couples baby shower given by our wonderful friends, Mark and Janet. Below is the shower invite sent to all our family and friends.  Pink and green are the colors of Harper's nursery and they became theme of the shower.

It was such a memorable  weekend. The shower was held at an historic hotel in our town called The Patrick Henry Hotel.  This hotel was redone two years ago and made into a ballroom and high end apartments. Needless to say, it is a beautiful place to have any event.

To start the day off right, Will made my mom and I appointments to get our makeup done. This was so special since, I was able to spend some quality time with my mom before the shower and weekend events.

Once we were done, we headed home and got dressed for the shower. My brother-in-law , Thomas came in from Atlanta for the weekend. Below is the photo of us before heading downtown to the shower.

I was so amazed on how many came to the shower.  We had 82 of our closet friends and family there to celebrate Harper. My brother, Brandon and my sister-in-law, Anne even drove in from Atlanta which meant so much to us. This day was so magical and made us feel so loved. Below are some of friends and family who were in attendance.

After everyone socialized, ate the wonderful food, and had some drinks we decided it was time to start unwrapping all the thoughtful gifts our friends and family gave us. As you can see we were beyond spoiled and blessed.

This is the beautiful monogrammed dress my brother and sister-in-law gave us..Love it!

Cannot wait to wheel Harper in this wagon

My mom gave me the exact dress I was brought home in. We are going to bring Harper home in the same dress.

Harper will be wearing this Redskin Cheerleader dress next football season (No matter how they play :)

After the shower, all our family and close friends came back to our home to relax for a bit. Then, we headed to one of our favorite restaurants Carlos for dinner.  We wanted to treat our hosts to a nice dinner since they threw us a wonderful shower.

Overall, it was a weekend that I will cherish forever. I felt so much love from all our friends and family who made the event so memorable. Harper is going to be a very lucky young lady with so many wonderful people in her life.
