My amazing best friend and sister at heart, Heather, threw us a beautiful shower with the help of my equally amazing mother in law, Janet. It was a perfect Saturday afternoon full of friends and family, some who traveled great distances to be there for us. The theme was Winnie The Pooh, which also happens to be the theme for our nursery. It was amazing day and we were overwhelmed with the outpouring of love we felt from everyone.
