Just a few weeks ago I sat down in front of my neighbors at Church and the neighbor lady asked me when my baby was due. I told her the date the twin girls were supposed to arrive and she looked at me in shock. she hadn't heard the news. At that moment she tells me that she will be throwing me a baby shower. I didn't think too much of it-until a week later when I receive a text asking if this date/time would work for the shower. The shower was 2 weeks ago in my neighbors front yard. She decorated with pink balloons, folded fancy napkins, made a chicken/walnut salad, mini pink cupcakes, and flavored water. She actually hand delivered invites to all the neighbors as well as every single women in the ward. I was surprised by how many wonderful neighbors and friends showed up. Based on the gift list my visiting teacher kept-there were 32 women. I really don't do well with crowds, but this was fun. I received so many cute outfits, diapers, wipes, gift cards, and so many other items a mom that is expecting twins needs. There are still ladies that weren't able to attend stop by and drop off gifts. So much help and support from people I don't really know other than in passing at church.

The photo below is just a random photo of the girls asleep downstairs after a hard day of playing. They may fight a lot-but at the end of the day they really do love each other.
