"Around the Clock" Shower

Early Sunday morning we received a text from Cole's sister, Amy, to check our front door.  We were shocked to find breakfast and gifts laying on our doorstep.  Connor ran out saying "I found presents!  I found presents!"  After I snapped a few pictures we brought everything inside to see who had left these gifts. 

Delicious breakfast complete with juice, milk, chocolate milk, coffee, donuts, and strawberries.

Inside we found a note that explained what was going to happen.  Cole's sister, Amy, and his Aunt Jeanne had organized an "Around the Clock" shower where we would be receiving gifts for Carson for every hour of the day.  They had contacted lots of our family and friends to help participate.  In the first box were gifts marked from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM.  We opened one gift before we left for church then saved the rest for later.   

After church we headed to Pok-e-Jo's for some lunch and were given a few more gifts.

Connor and Carson both got new books and stuffed animals from Nana and Poppa.

Before we headed home Jeanne gave us another round of gifts for 1:00PM-6:00PM.  Can you find Connor? :)

It was so fun to start opening the gifts and see all the sweet things that people had given us.

Here is what we received for 7:00 AM- 6:00 PM.

Part of the shower was that all of our meals were taken care of for the day.  Jeanne and Coleman brought us dinner that evening.  King Ranch chicken, salad, bread, and apple pie... yum!

They also brought over the last of the gifts for 7:00 PM- 12:00 AM

Connor was one lucky little boy and found several gifts for him as well.  (I guess I should say "Super Bunny" found several gifts. :)  He loves a show called Max and Ruby where one of the characters is named Super Bunny and has a cape.  He finds blankets for me to tie around his neck and runs through the house yelling "SUPER BUNNY!")

We put Connor to bed and finished opening the rest.

Look at all of those cute things!

What a blessing!  Thank you so much to all who participated in this shower.  We were blown away by your kindness and greatly appreciate all the gifts for our family.  It was such a fun surprise to spend our day being loved on by family and friends.
