Our Ever After: Our First Baby

- Friends 01-01-2004
- Family 01-10-2004

Our first Baby Shower was held on New Year's Day 2004, hosted by our wonderful friend, Michelle. It was a small gathering of our dearest friends, and was not only filled with cute and adorable gifts for our little JAM, but lots of laughter and good cheer.

It's good to know that our baby has so many Fairy Godparents waiting eagerly to spoil JAM rotten. ;)

Our second Baby Shower was held on January 10, 2004... a wonderful surprise planned by my Mom; no small feat given that she lives several states away! It was a great gathering of our family and family friends, and was a lot of fun. Thank you, Mom!
