An Awesome Baby Shower!!!

So the other day a big package came in the mail for me...yipee! The label was totally Carrie's (Wood) handwriting so I knew it was something awesome. However, I wasn't prepared for just how awesome this package would be. It was a Baby Shower in a Box (not to be confused with D*** in a Box!) This was the first thing I saw when I opened it up...

Then, there was a big card with this adorable poem in it...

For our dear friends who live far away,

we're sending you a surprise today!

We've filled this box with gifts for you.

To help prepare for your little two.

As the weeks fly by and your belly grows,

the excitement mounts, your happiness shows.

You started as two, soon turned to three.

And now five Hoyt's with Baby A and B.

We love you both and Carter too.

We can't wait to meet your precious two.

So, this package was from the following amazing friends:

Carrie, Ryan and Emerson Wood

Katy and Aaron Zimmerman

Steph and Zach Merriot

Judy Compier

Jen and Chad Cross

Nicole Fisher

Stacy, Jeremy and Audrey Bullcoming

Jeff, Brenna, Sydney and Brody Morgan

It was filled with awesome baby things including some cute BabyGAP clothes (my fave!) and some baby CD's (which is great because I only have two) a beautiful picture frame that I've already places on the nightstand in the boys' room. Oh, and there were two blue, candy cigars for me and Carl to "smoke" after the boys arrive...and a bunch of gift cards...Target, BabyGAP and Chili's. You can ask Carl, I had a permagrin on my face all night long. All I could think was...I really DO have the best friends in the world! What a thoughtful thing for them to put together for me...

So, for the record, THANK YOU guys for showing me how much you love and support us. We really appreciate it! XOXOXO!

Sidenote: I'd have pictures of the real thing, but I was so excited that I tore into it and then my nesting set in and I put it all away within about 15 minutes of opening it. So, you'll just have to take my word for it that it was totally awesome!
