A&A Construction

My mother-in-law made these adorable baby shower invites for last Saturday! (I was asked several times if these were purchased from Etsy or something. Nope. They’re hand-made!)
 

Some of my friends from church also helped with the decorations and it all turned out sooo darling. One of the ladies took lots of the pics of the decorations so I’ll post more when I get them.
 
 
 I didn't know how to cut the cake!
 

Once again, Aaron and I were in awe at the creativity and generosity of our friends!
I’m serious - Kaylynn asked if she could make the baby bedding. I mean, who volunteers for such a task?!? We LOVE it! She’s quite the quilter and came up with this design…

 
I’m sure by now it’s clear that having a dog - clarification: having an inside dog - is our biggest marital debate. So, I thought it would be a fabulous idea for the baby’s room to be decorated with puppies! I’m soooo smart. (Thanks mom for this blanket!)

 
Have you played the baby shower game where the mother-to-be picks which qualities and physical characteristics she hopes the baby inherits from her or her husband? We played that game and those who attended tried to figure out my responses. Well, at the end of the game there was a twist that I hadn’t seen before. Christy made a little video and recorded Aaron’s responses. Once she finished asking Aaron the questions for the game, she proceeded to ask him some questions like: What qualities do you hope your baby inherits from your parents? From Amanda’s parents? How did you feel when Amanda found out she was pregnant? What were your thoughts when you found out the baby is a boy? What thoughts would you like to share to Amanda? To your future son?
 
Of course I was in tears throughout the video. I'm so glad we have the memories documented!
