Toddler shower blessing

I had my first as we like to call it a Toddler shower. This was given to me by my great friend Kathleen she blessed me with paying attention to every detail. It was themed oriental there were rocks for every person who attended to said a prayer for Hailey & they will be placed in her room . Candles & pillows on the floor for seating .Gifts were given to all who attended a special bookmarks & key chains. All the food she prepared from scratch it was AMAZING & all went with the theme. There were my favorite &  fabulous jelly belly beans & a Smore' s bar was so unique. It blessed me as most friends who attended drove about a hour to be with me on this special day. My mom was right with me a true blessing in itself. I could go on & on. Looking forward to making a scrapbook with memories of this event  to share with Hailey.

Package is in CHINA

Will & I boxed up our picture & a blanket that we slept with to send to our daughter we also including a letter of questions for the orphanage we are in hopes will be answered, added some cookies for the directors and nannies & clothes for the other children.
We just found out that on 3/22/2012 our box made it safe to the gentleman who then sent it out to the province where our daughter is. We are awaiting on word that our daughter has received the box.
The thought that she will have our picture next to where she sleeps is like the commercial says PRICELESS 
Will keep you up on the answers in our letter as soon as we know 
Love to all
