Philadelphia Baby Shower

This post is very late in coming but I made the mistake of taking a ton of pictures at the baby shower.  We have been crazy busy and I have repeatedly put off post processing the images.  Fortunately today is a slower day for us and I knocked the pictures out while watching a movie with Am.  So here goes.

We were invited up to Philadelphia for a baby shower for Am hosted by Am's cousin, Noreen.  The original plan was for it to just be for the women so us guys were going to have to go out and find our own fun.  But last minute the party was expanded to include us so I was able to pull out the ol' camera and document the fun.

Noreen did an unbelievably awesome job as we had great decorations and delicious food.  Dave & Noreen's house is a fantastic party location both inside and out.  Here is a look at some of the decorations and food:

(Yep, that's a cake made of diapers - very cool!) 


(Check out these handmade creations!)

 (These were the cool give-aways.)

 (Aren't these cute?  Kathleen is very talented!)



And we had an awesome turnout.  Seems like almost all of Am's family on both her dad's side and mom's side were there.  That was the greatest gift of all as we got to visit with everyone.  Here's the gang:







And we were spoiled absolutely rotten with awesome gifts (thank you everyone!).  Here's Am opening away:



(Love this one - both Am and Mamma Breen have their mouths open in awe.)
 
(Am had lots of helpers with the presents.)













Here are some miscellaneous shots from the party:




(We played lots of wiffle ball!  Drew showed us how to hit.)


We will close with some shots of Pappa Breen getting some good baby practice.  He is going to make a fantastic grandpa!






Thanks so much to everyone who came out for the baby shower and thanks for all of the wonderful gifts.  And a massive thanks goes out to Noreen and Dave for pulling it all together and opening their home for the party.  You guys are the best!!
