NC friends and family baby shower

On Sunday, Steven's mom hosted a baby shower for us with our friends and family in NC. She of course outdid herself and it was a great party. As with most Hoke events there was no shortage of food, and she didn't spare any decorations. Nicole, Steven's sister was very crafty, and made pacifier necklaces out of candy, a bassinet out of the watermelon and so much more! Everyone was incredible to us. Many, many thank you's!!!! We had a great time, and are so glad that our son is loved by so many already! Thank you for all of our friends and families generosity and support. We couldn't do this without you!

Candy pacifiers Nicole made

The spread in true Hoke fashion

Cute watermelon carriage Nicole made

Complete with New Mommy and New Daddy mugs, and handmade sock corsage and boutonniere

Cake made by someone Veronica works with. . .was so delicious!

Who knows what Anita is excited about here, but I'm sure whatever she is saying is making me laugh. . .as usual.

Pro-grandma (of 8 already) and Daddy to be

A glimpse into the future. . .Connor, Piper, Sophia, Aaron, and Zander (5 of the 8 grandkids)

The winning diaper in the diaper contest modeled by Caitlin our beautiful niece

Sorry honey, this diaper looks like there would be some blowouts.
