Baby Craig Gets Showered With Love in SF


Baby Craig, and his parents, were so lucky to have another wonderful shower. This time the shower was in San Francisco at the amazing (i.e. magazine worthy) home of Ashley and Jesse (who are happily newly engaged ... eeek!) and was hosted by Ashley, Jesse, Auburn, Jenny, and Leah. Many friends and some family came out to celebrate Baby Craig. Good homemade food, an assortment of beverages, and some funny games were had.

Baby Craig received many gifts off his Babies R Us Registry, including a stroller, baby bottles, eco friendly baby care products, a travel bed for Baby Craig's planned fall travels, play gym, crib mobile and soother, feeding products, and more! [If you want to see pics, they are in our registry]. Baby Craig also received some other very cool gifts like a handknit blueEnergy sweater (pic below), handknit strawberry cap, Cal Bears gear, Oregon Duck gear, the softest blanket in the world (that mommy wishes were a tad bigger!), adorable monkey rug, monkey clothes, and more (did you catch the monkey theme yet!). Mommy Craig was super spoiled by the hostesses with an amazing gorgeous designer purple diaper bag (pic below)! We all feel so blessed and thankful (Baby Craig just kicked in agreement as I wrote this!). Thank you to our hostesses (and Jesse) and to all our friends and family for your time, thoughtfulness and generosity. We can't wait for Baby Craig to meet you all.

The food spread. Leah made dairy free cookies and rice crispy treats that were so yummy. Ashley made dairy free (and not) quiche that tasted like the real thing, Auburn made dairy free (and not) french toast strata that was to die for, and Auburn's mom Elaine made the fixins for BLT's with bacon that she hand carried from Wisconsin!!


The adorable monkey diaper cake made by Jenny!

The 4th hostess Auburn had already left (it was her birthday weekend so she was such a trooper because she had a full calendar). We had so much fun that many of us camera happy girls didn't take many pictures! This picture was taken just before the last of us left.
