Hi Baby Boy,
You are one spoiled Little Man after today! We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends to support us and help welcome you into the world.

| Baby Shower |
Your Auntie Jillian and Grandma Bonnie were the hosts. The theme was "Baby It's Cold Outside," and it was perfect considering the record-breaking low temperatures we've been having in February. It was the first "nice" day in awhile though, where we warmed up to a balmy 30 degrees, and the ice and snow on the road had melted away, making it much safer for everyone to drive.

| Auntie Kali's Frozen Cupcakes |
Auntie Kali came in from Cincinnati, and she made some awesome cupcakes. They even had snowflake sprinkles on them!
I absolutely loved seeing your name on everything- from banners to the balloons. And everyone signed a big letter "L" for you. It's part of a tradition we did at our wedding. Instead of a guest book, everyone signed a big letter "K" for Mommy & Daddy, so now you have your own very special guest book in your nursery.

| #Ladiesman and "Perfect Gentleman" onesies- too cute! |
We got so many amazing gifts for you! We got some of our big must needs- to name a few, your Uncle Danny and Aunt Brittany got you your baby monitor, and we got our high chair from Gramma LoLo, and Auntie Deena and Auntie Krista got us your pack & play. G.G. got you your jogging stroller and carseat, and your bouncer, and Mommy's Godmother, Aunt Susie, got your lightweight stroller. Plus, we got some adorable onesies and outfits- I can't wait to dress you up.

| Gifts Galore- so blessed! |
We also got some amazing homemade and personalized gifts that are just so touching. Brigitte and her mom got a personalized book called "Goodnight Little Landon" that I cannot wait to read to you. Melanie's Grandma sent you a hand-knitted cap and chevron blanket. Aunt Jackie made you a hooded bath towel. Mommy's coworker, Stephanie, got a hooded puppy towel with your name embroidered on it. And you got so much more from so many other people- I just can't fit them all here or thank them enough! Everyone's gifts were so nice and so helpful. I feel SO settled now that we have all of these things for you!

| Auntie Rachel flew in from Baltimore for the shower! |
What's even more touching is how many people came. Over 60 people were there! I loved having everyone in one big room together, and mommy's friend Rachel even flew in from Baltimore for the shower. It was great having her come in for the weekend!
 |
| Gramma LoLo and Mommy |
As you can see, everyone who was there is so excited for your arrival. Gramma LoLo even put together a slideshow video of pictures of Mommy & Daddy and of you growing in Mommy's belly so far. It was beautiful, and I couldn't help but cry. It was very nice of Gramma LoLo.

| Our Fabulous Hosts! |
Auntie Jillian and Grandma Bonnie could not have done a better job hosting the shower. From the location, to the decorations, to the food, and the adorable hot cocoa favors, it truly was perfect. The only crazy part of the day was when we got home, and I realized we were missing some of the amazing personalized and homemade gifts. Mommy felt so bad she was crying, and Daddy called them up to check to see what happened.We realized they accidentally got thrown away. So, Auntie Jillian and Grandma Bonnie went "dumpster diving" to retrieve your presents, saving the day!

| Great Gramma aka G.G. loves you so much already! |
I cannot say enough about how amazing the day was, and how excited everyone is to meet you , Landon!

| Kisses from Auntie Kali xoxo |
You have so many people who love you so much already, especially your family. I don't think there has ever been a baby that has so many people in love with him and excited to meet him and spoil him. Don't you ever forget that, buddy! Mommy and Daddy will make sure we teach you to be humble and thankful and to count your blessings and pray every night. You are our little miracle and the greatest gift God could give to us. And it was amazing to see you get showered with love.
Love you,
Mommy xoxo
