baby shower - german style...

Andy and I are surrounded by some amazing people in Denver who we feel so lucky to call our friends. This past weekend, we got a chance to celebrate with all of them and were definitely showered with their love. There is no shortage of support for us and our new little one.

The party was hosted by the wonderful couples, Derek and Kathy Fessler & Hayley and Kyle Schneider. They worked their butts off to make the event super special and unique to us!

As guests arrived, they were welcomed to a large, beautiful backyard. It was filled with many different venues to make guests feel comfortable...a firepit with hay bails for chairs, a lounging area with snacks to munch on, a bar area with a fabulous young server who was always ready to fill your glass or give you a pretzel necklace.

Smoke filled the air as the celebratory cigars were passed around and guests were able to take part in a guessing game for when Gizmo will arrive. It was soon time to eat and the food was FABULOUS and it all went along with the German theme! From big, doughy pretzels to assorted cheeses and salami to the-best-brats-you-will-ever-eat to potato salad, it was all super yummy! There were even smores around the fire as the evening turned dark!

 

It is so special for us to have so many people in Denver that care about us and already care so much about our baby boy. We feel so fortunate to have all of this support and feel so loved. A little thing happened in Denver at our amazing German themed baby shower, we started to feel like parents and gained a surge of confidence with all of our friends behind us ready to catch us if when we falter throughout this journey.
