Our shower was incredibly beautiful! We were so blessed, and surrounded by so many loved ones, helping us celebrate our baby boys. My sisters did such a wonderful job, I have never seen a baby shower so breathtaking! They did a vintage Christmas theme, and the food was amazing! Such a spread! We had a hot beverage bar w/ all kinds of mix-ins, a galvanized bucket full of iced drinks, chocolate dipped pretzel rods, a variety of finger sandwiches, sausage balls, a buckeye cheese ball (which is like a peanut butter ball in dip form!!) with all sorts of goodies to dip in it, cupcakes, chex mix, and puppy chow...a variety of chips and three different types of dips! And I'm still not sure I listed everything! It was outta this world! We also have amazing friends that came early to help out, Megan, Ashley, Jennifer, and Renea all showed up to help however needed, and I appreciate them so much! My mom worked her tail off getting the house ready, cleaned, and decorated for Christmas too. I can't say thank you to all of these special women enough. They pulled off a perfect shower. And now, for some pictures!

This is not even half the guests or the stuff we got, things and people were flooded through the rest of the house, and we received gifts through the mail from those who couldn't make it. We have been "showered" with many of the things we needed. My parents bought us the Cadillacs of car seats, and Jason's dad bought us the crib(s), so those were both big ticket items that we were very grateful to receive! We also got swings, a bouncer, a twin stroller, adorable clothes, a special train set, gift cards and money to fill in what we still need, the twins Willow Tree figurines, books, and an assortment of all other kinds of baby goodies! We are pretty well prepared for these little fellas to get here in only a few months! I think the shower sent me into nesting mode, I am loving getting everything together, washing their little clothes and blankies in the yummy smelling Dreft, setting up the crib (they are sharing for a little while), etc. I can't say thank you enough to everyone involved in pulling this off, and everyone who came..we love you all!
