Last weekend we celebrated Stephanie and baby Vivian! We had a cute children's storybook themed shower at our house. It turned out pretty cute! We had a great showing as well! Lot's of family and friends came in to celebrate. After the shower, the guys joined us at our place and the party continued until wee hours of the morning! It was a beautiful day and I think everyone had a lot of fun! Can't wait to meet sweet baby Vivian, she is already so loved!
