Baby Shower!

My team at work hosted a wonderful baby shower for me on Tuesday, December 9! The food was awesome, and Kaelie received so many nice gifts. I am especially blessed to work with a staff that is so supportive of all three of our adoptions. It seems that everyone is excited! Next week is my last week of work before my maternity leave!
OK, on to pictures!


Beautiful Cake baked and designed by our in-house cake guru Kerri M.


What a load of gifts! I was shocked, and they were so pretty I didn't want to open them!



Here's a shot of me opening the presents!



The money tree! The staff collected money for the adoption trip, then gave a live tree in honor of Kaelie's adoption...this will soon be a fixture in our front yard!

All the opened gifts!

Hi Karen! Your cake is so adorable! That is so cool how they gave you a live tree! It will be amazing to see how much it grows along with Kaelie! You are absolutely glowing in all the pics! I can't believe you will be in China soon!

My husband wanted to have a baby,, but he had an erectil dysfunction problem, so we decided to buy viagra and after that i could be pregnant. All my friend was excited with the new, so they organized an secret baby shower for me. It was wonderful.
