Christy's surprise baby shower!

My sister came to visit this summer with her husband and two little boys. She got here mid-July and didn't leave until a little over a month later! It was so nice to have her for so long. When she was up in SLC, UT visiting her husband's family, my family decided it would be a good idea to do a baby shower for her, she is having her first girl and we thought it would be fun for her to get some girl cloths and girl colored stuff for when little Jane arrives. So we decided to make it a surprise and sent out the invitations! I thought for sure that she was going to know what was going on but she had no idea! (At least that's what she says...) haha

She wanted to go to the temple while she was here so our sister-in-law, Staci, kindly agreed to attend the temple with Christy and that gave us a good 3 hours to set up for the shower, which turned out to be just enough time! When she got to the shower there were already some people there waiting to surprise her.

We had a really good time visiting with lots of friends and family and opening cute baby gifts! I think Christy was a little overwhelmed with all the love being thrown her way. I'm sure my mom was, I think she even got some tears in her eyes when the shower was ending, she has some awesome friends!

Here are some pictures of the shower, not all of them will upload for some weird reason but I did get a few to upload just fine.

It sure does stink to have to say goodbye to the Clark's. It's always a little lonely and quiet. I miss the snuggles the boys give me and their cute voices saying my name whenever I walk into the room. I miss my sister being near and being able to tell her everything I want without having to call and time it all out just right. We were spoiled with so much time together and next time we see each other, our babies will be here in the world! Love you, Christy!
