Our First Baby Shower

Saturday, May 7 we had our very first baby shower. We went to the Anaheim White House for lunch and of course, gifts. Most of the attendees were my mom's family and Derek's dad's family. I know some of you traveled quite far so many thanks that you came. It was a really nice day and I can't tell you how surreal it was to be there opening gifts for our little guy and talking about him all day. He's one blessed and loved little boy already.

I really am thankful to my mom, sister, Yiayia, and the entire Hernandez clan for throwing us the shinding. Thank you guys so much! The only thing I really missed that day was getting some good pictures! So sorry there are few. Thanks Lil for those you took below...


The yummiest cupcakes matched the invites

Adorable diaper cake made by my cousin Taylor

Table of fantastic guests and shower hostesses

Pretty sure that's an "aww this is too cute face"

Blanket by mom's friend


And this is probably one of my favorites - he recieved the "Love You Forever" book... which Derek's mom actually gave Derek at our wedding. It has special memories and it's sorta a family book and I am so glad Peanut has his own copy now.


I am so grateful for everyone that came and the many clothes, blankets, toys, etc. that we received. Everyone is so generous. Later that night we went through it all and were so overwhelmed at everyone's geneorousity and love. But more than anything laughed at the piles and mounds of diapers we got. (But surely if he's related to the boys in this family we'll need them. HAHA)
