Baby Shower in MI

This weekend was a trip to MI to visit with family and then of course for the baby shower. We took Friday off so we could get an extra day - it was well worth it! The baby shower was beautiful and we were able to visit with lots of friends and family. We played a few games and they hosted a diaper raffle, for each person who brought a pack of diapers, they were able to enter their name into a drawing for a wine basket compliments of Aunt Deb or a handmade quilt compliments of Aunt Linda. Cindy's (Jim's mom) friends won both prizes... their table was definitely the lucky ones!

We received a bunch of great baby gifts... just making it sink in more and more! The Kirkwood family went in on the strollers, both of them! So we now have the travel stroller complete with infant car seat and then Jimbo got the Maclaren Vollo stroller - umbrella stroller made by his favorite Formula 1 Racing team. Jay (Jim's dad) even decorated the box with a race car photo from his calendar! Big time!

The boys had gone go-karting once again during the shower and then stopped by afterward. Then a bunch of us went to Champps for some food and drinks. It was so nice to hang out with our friends and get some time to just relax. That night we visited with more family and then relaxed at Jay and Cindy's.

The drive home on Sunday was uneventful - we made it home in about 6.5 hours and Hilo had some room in the back of the car among all the gifts and luggage. Ah - time for bed!
