Shower In A Box

What a sweet surprise Carson and I received in the mail last week.  My cousin, Kaci, was the organizer who called all of my family and let them know that she would be mailing a box of gifts for Carson if they would like to add something to it.  When I opened it I found this note:
"Dearest Kristin, Surprise!  Welcome to your 'Shower in a Box!'  Your family has secretly conspired together and sent gifts from all over the country to honor the upcoming arrival of your sweet baby boy, Carson Michael.  So sit back, have a piece of cake, and enjoy this showering of gifts and love!  We love you and can hardly wait to meet your little bundle!"

I was totally surprised and could not believe my eyes when I opened the package and found this...

This was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me.  I was overwhelmed with how much love my sweet family had shown. (Did you notice there was even a cake with plates and napkins in there?) :)

Connor woke up from his nap just in time for the arrival of the package and even found a surprise for him inside.

My mom took pictures while I opened all the gifts.  I have to say that this was the most relaxing shower I have ever had! :)

All of Carson's new things laid out in his crib.

Connor wanted to put his new trains and books on the crib too!

Cole got home just in time to see all the gifts.  We then ate a quick dinner and enjoyed a delicious piece of Vanilla Chocolate Chip Pound Cake to finish off such a fun shower.

Thank you to all of my wonderful family who made us feel so special and loved.  You are such a blessing to us and Carson is lucky to be surrounded by so many people who love him already!  We love you!
