The Morse Family: Corona Baby Shower in the Garden

After weeks and weeks of preperation, everything had come together for our garden party baby shower!! It was thrown by my mom at her and George's house in Corona, CA. My mom had so much fun planning everything and putting it all together and it turned out soo amazing! My mom had the great idea of doing a raffle prize and giving away tickets to anyone who brought a children's book for Brielle! We got some new books that we've never heard of and even more that Kris and I remember reading when we were kids. Having our parents read to us when we were little is something both Kris and I really remember and love about childhood. We cant wait to read some of these books to Brielle as she grows up. What a special idea?!

For me, and I know Kris too, the best part about the shower was the opportunity for both of our families to be together for the first time. Not only was this the first chance that both our families to meet each other, but for Kris, it was the first time in a while that he's gotten to be with so many people in his family all at once! He doesn't get to go home to Eureka as often as he'd like and it was really meaningful for him to have everyone here to support us. We both feel really fortunate that even with families spread all up and down the West Coast, everyone could come together and help us celebrate this little baby coming into the world. She's already got so many people that love her and she's not even here yet!! We are SO BLESSED :)
