Surprise baby shower!!

Sean and I traveled to the cities this weekend to see his family. When we arrived on Sat eve his mother and sisters had planned a surprise baby shower for us. Sean new all about it but I did not and it was a true surprise. I had NO idea going into it.
This is a picture that has absolutely nothing to do with the shower but I just thought that it was so cute. Here is Sean with his nephew Zack when we were over at his sisters house. Zack was in a cuddle-me kind of mood and uncle Sean's lap was just the right fit. Can't you just picture Sean as a father soon? I know that I can :)

Ok so here we are at his other sister Courtney's house. The shower has begun and instead of a corsage we got this cute bib. Our necks were too big so we took a picture of it. The cow goes moooooo when you push on his tummy.
Sean was forced to stay at the shower along with Courtney's husband Kent but I think that they had a good time. We played some games that were fun and then we opened gifts and ate some good food.
Here is a picture of Sean's mom Judy. She was a major part in putting on this shower.



Here is Sean with his favorite gift of the night........or NOT!!!!!!! This was a funny little joke played by Judy. But Sean is going to keep it and perhaps get some puff paint and make it into a Vikings shirt somehow!


Here he is with something a little better. Now that is more like it Judy!!! A vikings blanket and twins blanket. We also got a little winter cap with the TC logo on it. SOOO cute.




Here is the youngest girls at the party. Aren't they so cute? They were so well behaved and had a good time looking at all the baby boy stuff. Kaisa is wearing the pink outfit, Connie is in the brown shirt and Haley is sitting on the floor with the pink t-shirt. They actually all have 3 great smiles all at the same time. Sean and I can't believe how big they are getting. Connie was just a few months old when we met and now she is almost 8!!!!!




Here is a picture of all of the stuff that we got from the Shower. I was overwhelmed by the amount of the gifts. We are getting a little more prepared to meet our little guy, but it seems as though there is still so much that we don't have. Sean spread it all out on our spare bed and I had to take 3 separate pictures so that you can see it all. Make the picts bigger and you can see all of the cute little designs on everything.









Ok so we hadn't had enough so we decided to go to Babies R Us in Maple Grove and we bought the stroller/carseat. This happens to be a model that someone returned simply because they didn't like the fabric and it was never used. That is the one that we wanted and the price was decreased by 50.00 so we jumped on it. We didn't have to put it together and it was cheaper. Sweet!


It has the same fabric as the pack n play!





And last but not least. Here we have Sean with the stroller pretending to be on the street with his new baby. You can see that he is so happy and waving at all the people passing by. Ohhh he is so darn funny!!!!!!

Love the packers tee!! I also think he is pretty cute with the wave on the street!! too funny! I am glad you had a good shower--Mom and I would have been there if Ann would have been home so we could have stayed there! I do have some awesome footage of our brother dancing at the bar on Saturday night though!!!!

I think you and Sean had a great time visiting his mother and sisters place. I can feel that how you got surprised while baby shower. You people got some really nice gifts which include strollers, garments, toys etc. You got all the best gifts except bouncer like Mickey Bungee Deluxe which makes baby to play and enhance her joy.
