Dallas Baby Shower

We had our first baby shower the last weekend in June. Paul's Tia Mattie was kind enough to host the shower at her home in Dallas and most of Paul's family was able to come and some of our friends from the Dallas area were able to make it as well. The shower was lots of fun and decorated very cute. It was nice to see and catch up with family and friends that we hadn't seen in a while. Paul, the babies and I feel very blessed to have so many people excited for the girls to arrive, and wanting to celebrate with us.

The shower was lots of fun. We had great food; including yummy Brasilian treats, and the girls got some really cute outfits, and necessities.

My friends Mary-Beth and Rachel were able to make it to the shower.

Rachel and I have been lucky enough to share our pregnancies with each other and now share almost the same due date. I am so lucky to have here as a friend.

We are so blessed by all the family and friends who came to the shower and their generosity. The girls are very lucky to have such a great extended family and friends already in their lives.
