Shower Tree!

Instead of hosting lots of wedding and baby showers our church instead sponsors a "Shower Tree" for these events. They put up a little tree in the church lobby and hang suggestions for shower gifts. Over the course of a couple weeks people in the church can come and drop off shower gifts under the tree! It's really a pretty good idea! Our church did a baby shower tree for us and about a week and a half ago I got to bring home all the goodies and spend a fun Sunday afternoon opening them up! We got lots of adorable clothes, homemade blankets, burp cloths, bibs, and even some gift cards (which I have already spent on some basics like diapers, wipes, and pacifiers)! We have such wonderful and generous people in our church and we felt very loved! Thanks to all of you there for continuing to make us feel like we are really a part of a church family!
