Baby shower #1

I spent this last weekend in Modesto to celebrate my very best friend in the whole world! Crista and Mike are expecting a baby boy next month and we got to celebrate her before little Jackson came into the world. Crista's sister and mom helped me throw a baby shower in my mom's backyard and it was a success, if I do say so myself!

We spent the weeks leading up to the shower praying for cooler weather and we were blessed/cursed with a windy morning. As everything continued to fall of tables and blow over we reminded ourselves that wind was better than 100 degree heat!

Here is Crista's sister and mom (Carrie & Carrol), Crista, Me and my mom. We used to live two houses apart, and now Carrie is married with two little girls of her own, Carrol and Jerry have moved to another house, Crista is ready to start her own little family, and I'm living in Redondo Beach! It's nice to know that even though life can change so drastically we will always have good friends.

Here is the mommy and daddy to be: Crista & Mike.

She got lots of fun stuff!

Two of Crista's good friends made this cake for her. It was fantastic!

It was such a fun day of celebrating the new little life they're bringing into this world. We can't wait to meet you baby Jackson! And this post is labeled "Baby Shower #1" because we know quite a few pregnant women and will have the chance to celebrate each of them in the next few months. Yay!
