Each one of our showers was special in its own way and my family shower in Indiana was no different! I really hate that I don't get to see my family more often, but I try to make the most of the time that I do get to spend with them! My third shower was probably the longest shower we had, and I was still sad to have to leave that afternoon! My amazing cousins, Abbe and Paige, and my sister, Katlynne, worked so hard to make every detail of this shower absolutely perfect!
The shower began with a fun picture game. The guests had to correctly identify baby pictures of my immediate family and Adam's immediate family. I have to admit that it was actually a hard game! It took me a while to figure everyone out! Some of the pictures were easier to identify because they were either more dated or more current than the others. After we played the game we enjoyed some yummy brunch food! I LOVE breakfast casseroles, so the menu was perfect for this pregnant lady! As soon as the tables were cleared we were ready to move on to the next activity, decorating onesies. Each guest decorated a onesie for Baby Poff to wear. I have some very talented women in my family, so it was fun to see what everyone came up with! Of course I didn't want to miss out on the fun, so I made one for my son to wear that said, "Daddy's Little Wildcat". Adam really liked it! The last part of the shower consisted of opening presents and talking with my family! Baby Poff received so many wonderful gifts! He really has no idea how much love everyone already has for him!

As you can tell by the pictures, it was a wonderful shower! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! It was such a special day, and I am so blessed to have such a loving and caring family that are willing to do so much to make this a special time for both Adam and I.
