Obviously there is no way I'm going to post them all on here...
I will upload them all to an album for all to see later...
However, I do want to share the highlights...
Thank you to all of our amazing friends and family that came to share in our special day...
It wasn't easy but we managed to squish all 24 of us into a group shot...
Welcome to baby Manning's baby shower...

Lex took the first photo, and then she switched with Sean and hopped in this shot...

Todd, Gracie, and I before everyone arrived...

Just a small glimpse at what an amazing shower we had. I have the sweetest mother-in-law that purchased all the blue party supplies within a 30 mile radius. Thank you mom for the awesome monkey cake!!!

How cute are these girls???
:)
Gracie, Sam, and Maddie

My handsome Hubby playing pool with Jim...

My sweet Aunt Edie, My Mom, Gracie, and I...
The amazing Lex...
Thank you so much for coming, what a drive you had, I don't like that you're so far away now...
Todd and I were so happy you were able to come...

This is a picture of my amazing Hubby stopping me from opening the first gift because he had a surprise for me...

Inside was an adorable Dallas Cowboys outfit complete with Dallas Cowboys booties and socks...
I now have a little man to watch football with...
Yay!!!
Thank you my handsome man you make me feel so special :)
I love you to pieces...

We were blessed with so many presents...
Thank you everyone...
Here are pictures of just a few....



Judging by the look on my face I really liked this one...
:)

And now you can see why...
How cute is this???

And then I was opening up lots of gifts from Aunt Edie and Uncle Ray...
They all had a theme...
Such as this crib mattress cover...

Todd and I weren't putting it together...
Until it was right in front of us...
Literally...

A crib mattress!!!!
Thank you Aunt Edie and Uncle Ray...
My mom gave us a huge basket overflowing with adorable monkey clothes and accessories...
Thanks Mom...

Bows were on tummys...

And on top of heads...
:)

Jeff and Dina got Baby Manning his first book complete with the matching adorable stuffed animal...
"The Dr. Suess Foot Book", a must read :)
Thank you guys...

Grandma Donna showed off her computer skills with a custom made shirt for her Grandson...
It couldn't have been said any better...
"I'm here, where's my pony"...

Kyle, Selena, Sam, and Maddie got us a much needed baby bath...
Thanks guys...

All the way from Apple Valley my Aunt Tina was unable to attend...
But she got us our bottle set...
Thank you Aunt Tina we missed you...

While registering for the baby shower a few weeks back, Todd's Mom went through the long process with us of deciding on the perfect diaper bag...
We must have been in the diaper bag aisle for 30 minutes...
And low and behold she got us the exact one we picked out...
Thank you Mom and Grandma Florence...

Of course I have to showcase Arron's one of a kind wrapping skills...

Arron and Tom got Baby Manning such an awesome swing...
It even has MP3 plugins...
And has my favorite animal on it...
Thank you so much you guys...


Even sweet Gracie received lots of gifts...


Grandma Donna got her a very appropriate new shirt...
"I'm The Big Sister"...

There is no way I could show all of the wonderful presents we received...
We couldn't even fit them all in the car...
Todd and I are so grateful and blessed with amazing friends and family...
Thank you everyone...
As you can see there is lots of hugs...






Next was cake time!!!

Notice the monkey ballon with the diaper on in the background...
Leave it to my Mother-in-law to find that...
:)
To darn cute...

My handsome husband did an awesome job and sliced the cake for everyone...

After everything we headed outside so socialize...
We couldn't have asked for nicer weather...
65 and sunny...
Here is friends that go way back...
Arron, Todd, and Drew...

Here are 3 Mommy's To Be...
In order from right to left...
Me due in March...
Dina due in April...
And Becky due in May...

And here are 3 Daddy's to be...
Todd, Jeff, and Drew...

After everyone left Todd's Mom gave Todd a special present...
A JEEP baby backpack...
Daddy must have a JEEP one...
:)

And then Gracie got a game of pool in with Grandma Donna...

What an amazing day we had...
I cannot thank everyone enough for sharing this special time with us...
Mom (Donna) thank you so much for throwing us this beautiful shower...
We love you so much...
As promised I will upload all of the photos to an albulm and provide a link a little later...
Right now Todd and I are heading to bed, we're beat...

Poor Gracie is exhausted and was asleep hours ago...
Hope this finds all of you smiling,
