Showers of blessings!

We had such a good weekend! Friday night Jarod's parents came down to spend the weekend with us. It was a very relaxing weekend, not doing much. They brought us a tree from the farm for our Christmas tree. We let the kids decorate it on Saturday. They did a good job! We just hung around the house and played games, watched movies, napped, and ate! We did go see a Christmas light display here in Broken Arrow that is very pretty and millions of lights. It was cold, and we had hot chocolate which together made it feel like Christmas! :-) We got to enjoy church together on Sunday and going out to eat at one of our favorite restaurants here. After that the girls (me, Jacqui, and Kaitlyn) went up to the church for my baby shower. These are my two friends who put the shower together:



Carrie is on the left. She is a dear woman I love very much. She has recently been reunited with her husband after his tour in Afghanistan. She is a very sweet woman. Emily is on the right. She is the lovely lady I get to work with at the preschool. They did a great job putting it all together. The colors were brown and blue, which have become Nathaniel's colors. This is the cake that Carrie made:



The baby was made out of fondant. This cake is so me! I'm not really into baby bottles and rattles and such for decorations, so this was perfect! It was also very yummy! We were very blessed with presents and gift cards. I feel like we are ready now for Nat to come. It was a lot of fun to have friends from all different ages come to the shower. Some knew Jarod and not me and came anyway to support us. I was overwhelmed with love and gratitude! Now we just need a sweet baby boy in a few weeks!
