Collin & Kristin

I have been meaning to post about my brother and sister-in-law, Collin & Kristin, for a while now and just now have had the chance. Two weekends ago they came into town and we hosted a baby shower for them. We also took their maternity pictures that morning. It was such a great weekend. We had so much fun spending time with them and getting to see them again. As mentioned in a previous post, Collin and Kristin used to be our neighbors, but in October they moved to Fort Worth. We have missed them so it was nice to see them! I made my first attempt at baking and decorating a cake and I think it turned out pretty good. My friend Jenni, who is an official cake decorator, gave me lots of pointers and great tips (I would have had her to do it but she doesn't live near us). The shower theme was "ABC - or alphabet." My grandfather created their baby's name (Cayden Glenn Day) out of wood and it connected like a train - it even had an engine and caboose. We put it up on the mantle and it looked so cute and went well with the theme (I didn't get any pictures of it). As Collin & Kristin opened their gifts we had whoever's gift they were opening to give a piece of advice - but the fist person had to start their advice with the letter "A", then the next person "B" etc etc. It was cute and surprisingly everyone was actually really creative and the advice was great!
We are so excited for Cayden to get here. Just another couple months and we will see his sweet face!

Here are some pictures from the weekend!
