Super Surprise Baby Shower!

This post is AKA super belated baby shower entry…

A month ago my amazing friends coordinated the most successful surprise party in history. Man, can they keep a secret. They planned for months and it really showed. The theme for the party was Dr. Seuss – there were green eggs and ham, all sorts of decorations, and even a couple of awesome friends who came dressed to the nines in Seuss wear. Honestly, I didn’t get it at first. I was waaay to overwhelmed too even comprehend why all these people were even there! Here’s the thank you note I wrote to everyone right after the shower.

Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you so much for the wonderful (and well orchestrated) surprise baby shower! It was such a shock to see my loved ones together that I just didn’t know what to do or say (as expressed by my silence and confusion). I couldn’t believe the distances traveled and the amount of work that was put into making this celebration happen. I just don’t know how to adequately express my gratitude or the joy I feel, knowing that our little family is so loved. Special thanks goes to the peeps who traveled from afar to be with us, those who joined us via satellite and video, those who so sneakily lied to my face, and those who worked tirelessly to coordinate, cook and decorate…

Pattie, Baby Barbu and I are so very lucky to have friends and family such as you. Our little boy is going to be born into a community full of wonderful aunties/uncles and grandparents who will love, support and guide him along in the years to come. Also, thanks so much for the thoughtful gifts. Please please please send me your mailing addresses! I will send out some pictures very soon, but in all the excitement I really didn’t get to take very many. So, if you have pictures please send me the link.

With Lots of Love,

Jeni, Pattie, and baby
