News Flash: A Hollywood Baby Shower!

Well we've been back for almost a week and I wanted to get the photos up from the shower our LA friends threw for us.  It was amazing, and we are so, so lucky to have such an awesome group of friends that worked so hard to help us celebrate the arrival of our daughter.  The theme was a Hollywood Baby Shower, so everyone had celebrity baby name tags on, which corresponded with their bottle aka "adult cocktail"...One of the hosts of the party put together a portrait studio with a "Bill and Doug's Baby Shower" back drop.  It was hilarious and so, so special...these photos will be something we will have for a long, long time.  Thanks Asher!  There were a ton of other classic touches like cupcakes with pacifiers stuck in them, black and white celebrity photos with pacifiers, only one game, thank goodness (but it was a hilarious diaper game where you had to act the clue out that was inside the diaper), pink and silver balloons, good eats, drinks, a red carpet, paparazzi (kind of), the list goes on.  Thank you Asher, Scott, James and Terrance.  Your creativity and hospitality and love for us is overwhelming.

Many, many photos from the special day.

How do you thank the people that have given you SO MUCH. 

We tried to express our appreciation -- but words cannot express how incredibly fortunate we are.  

THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!
