It's a BOY!

One of Greg's best buds, Jonathan Brough, and his wife Lindsay are expecting a baby boy (Hudson) in February.  And ever since we found out about their little bundle of joy this past summer, we have wanted to throw them a baby shower to celebrate.  Jon and Lindsay are from Louisville, KY.  So we planned for them to drive down to Birmingham, stay at our place for the weekend and we'd host them a baby shower.

It was such a fun weekend!  We cooked breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning, Greg took them out shooting (with his new shotgun I gave him for our anniversary), and to Dave's pizza for lunch while I finished prepping for the party.  Thank goodness my friend Leah came over to help me set-up/decorate because we were scrambling to get it all done before the rest of the guests arrived.  I was popping one thing after another into the oven to cook and we were hanging banners and burlap everywhere.  It turned out super cute, if I do say so myself!

 

 We mostly just hung out for a while, eating food and watching football games.  The Notre Dame game was a huge hit, and finally after 3 overtimes, that game ended, so we took a break to let the mama and daddy-to-be open their gifts!

 

 

The guys all chipped in together and bought Brough a really nice pocket knife.  Greg got it engraved with "Brough" and "Live for the moment."  The idea is that one day, Jon will pass it down to Hudson when he's older.  It was a great night hanging out with friends, and of course we always love seeing the out-of-towners every chance we get! 

 

 

Later, I'm going to post some recipes from the baby shower and a DIY tutorial for a mod-podge letter!  So check back for those!!
