This past Saturday, March 24th, we had a baby shower here in Charlotte. My sisters, Ashley & Cassie threw the shower, but one of our good friends Victoria also helped. Everyone did a lot of work for this shower and I cannot thank them enough! Victoria made the invitations, sent them and kept track of all of the RSVP's. She also helped prep food on Friday night and again on Saturday. Ashley, thought of the entire menu which consisted of heavy hors d' oeuvres, drinks and desserts. She also shopped and made all of the food. Cassie was in charge of the games. We played 4 different ones and the winning person/team got prizes(s). She also had everyone write a piece of advice that they would give Shawn and I, as parents, and then she made a book of all of them. Ashley & Cassie also shopped and bought everything for the shower. This included balloons, plates, napkins, utensils, table clothes, streamers and other decorations. We had a really great turn-out of people, around 25. It was the perfect amount of people and everyone had a great time! Baby Anderson also got a lot of great gifts! Pictures are below with captions. Again, we cannot thank everyone enough for throwing us a beautiful shower and we will always remember it!
