St. Simons Baby Shower

I had a baby shower in St. Simons this morning! My aunt Faye and my cousin Chrissy gave it, along with Barb Sperry and Pat Strickland (Steven and Craig's moms). The food was REALLY good - we had chicken salad sandwiches on croissants, orange blossoms, fruit, muffins, cheesecakes, mini cinnamon rolls, and quiches. And Matt's mom made a cake in the shape of a bassinet that matches the one she gave us that Matt used when he was a baby! It was awesome. There was also a cranberry lemonade punch and a cold coffee punch that was to die for (it had strong coffee, chocolate, milk, and vanilla ice cream in it!). It was so good to see a lot of people from St. Simons that I don't get to see very often. I am very thankful that they could make it to my shower! And we got some really amazing gifts...I feel very overwhelmed by the generosity of my family and friends. Here are some pictures from the shower (mostly ones that Shelia snapped...thanks Shelia!)
