A Huge Success!!! And a big THANK YOU!!!

Yesterday's baby shower was a huge success!  It was so much fun seeing everyone, playing games, eating dinner and snacks and (BEAUTIFUL AND TASTY) cake!  I had way more presents than I knew what to do with!  You all were so very generous!  Thank you so much!  What and amazing (and tiring) day!  Wouldn't have changed a single thing about it!  :)

Mama and Sis, thank you so very much for all of the hard work and money that you put into my shower!  I couldn't have asked for anything better.  It was so much fun!  You guys did an amazing job going out of your way to make everything match and look perfect for my big day.  It was absolutely amazing!  The food was great!  And to top it all off, you brought gifts too!  That was entirely unneccessary considering you were already doing so much and spending so much on me and our little girl.  You two are the greatest.  Thank you so much for my AMAZING baby shower!  I LOVED it!!!  :D

To all of our friends and family, thank you so much for coming!  I know several people traveled many hours out of their way to make sure that they were there for us.  Thank you so much.  We greatly appreciate you giving up your Saturday to spend the day with us.  You are all too kind and loving to us.  Thank you all for the books!!!  I'm soooo excited to get a shelf put up in baby girl's room and display her beautiful new collection.  Your notes inside mean the world!  They touch my heart and make me so thankful to have such loving and giving friends and family.  And the gifts!!!  Oh my goodness!!!!  There was literally a mountain of gifts on that table!  I was completely blown away!  Thank you all so very much!  Our little girl will be well outfitted in clothes, blankets, baby food making supplies, toys, keepsakes, lotions, soaps, picture frames, and pacifiers!  :)  You were all so generous.  We are truly undeserving of such great people in our lives.  Thank you!

Now that this shower is over, it's time for Michael and I to look over our lists and decide what else we need.  We have some bigger purchases to make over the next couple of months.  We will have to skillfully budget to make our dollars last as long as they can.  And in 9 short weeks, our little girl will be here.  As the clock winds down and her due date gets closer, I have a feeling we will begin to see just how much having a baby can cost (which is not helped at all by her Mama's expensive tastes).  :P  I'm looking forward to collecting our last few things and finishing our pregnancy strong, healthy and prepared.  :)  Please continue to pray for us as we spend our last couple of months alone and finish preparing to bring our little girl into the world and home.

Thank you again for coming and making our day special.  For those of you who were unable to make it, you were greatly missed and we love you very much.  Hopefully we will see you soon, either before or shortly after our little girl makes her appearance.  :)  We love you all very much!  Thank you, again!
With Love,
Michael, Jen, and Baby Voss
