Hagen's Baby Shower

Today was such a great day! Thank you so much to all of my family and friends who came out to celebrate baby Hagen! (We missed those of you who couldn't make it!) We received such a wide variety of the necessities... it was great! (And some super cute clothes, too!) And how memorable that it snowed on Hagen's day- those were some huge snowflakes!

Many people asked about Hagen's room and I had to be honest about the room being no where near ready yet. We decided not to paint his room since we're planning to put our house up for sale soon. His room doesn't really have a theme- it's sort of funny because Tommy and I kept going back and forth about how we would decorate the room and now we're not really decorating it at all! Tommy, of course, wanted an Eagle's theme and I find something adorable about elephants. I think I will search for some cute elephant fabric and have my Grandma make curtains for his room. I didn't even get a bed set for Hagen- I guess you really realize things you NEED and don't need by the time that 2nd baby comes around!

When I got home from the shower with my car full of gifts, I decided to leave everything in the car until that room was READY! There's not enough time for me to drag my feet about it. It took me about 2 hours to clean everything out of the room- what was in the room you ask? Christmas decorations (it's a lot easier to throw things in that room than put them in the attic!), Tommy's hunting gear, all of my binders and educational books from grad school, workout equipment, etc. I was so excited when I could finally bring the gifts inside- unpacking and organizing everything is the BEST! Currently, I have a load of sweet baby boy clothes and other items in the dryer! And even though my back is killing me and I'm so tired from slaving in his room, I cannot wait to get those clothes folded and put away. We do not have NEAR as many clothes for this baby as we did for Lyla but I also had 4 showers for Lyla and I think it's a little different buying clothes for girls than for boys. BUT- don't get me wrong... we have PLENTY of boy clothes right now! :)

Thank you SOOOO much to my awesome sister who was in charge today... I know it's not very often that I give you control, but you did a great job, Stacey! The blue chocolate fountain was awesome! :)

Here are a few photos from the day:
