Good Food
Beautiful Decorations
And one Very Happy Mom & Dad
I have to be honest there were several times that the tears just fell. At one point Crystal just burst into tears and said, "I'm sorry I just can't help it." There is so much happiness and fear all wrapped up into this baby that it can be overwhelming. Grandma is a basket case so I can only imagine how Crystal is feeling.
Big Sister, Jayden, is so excited!
When the shower was over she grabbed the onesie's and disappeared upstairs for quite some time. This is what she was doing....
She had neatly folded them and placed them in baby sisters drawer!
I LOVE the name they have chosen for her. Elizabeth is my first name and Crystal's middle name. My new grandaughter will be named Ellizabeth Mae! They added an extra "L" so she will be called, "Elli Mae". Mae is Spencer's grandmother's name and his sister Georgia's middle name. I think it's perfectly adorable! But I must say this is my fourth grandaughter to have my name and it is a huge honor! We have Kaitlen Elizabeth, Jayden RayAnn (Ann is my middle name), then Isabelle Kay (Isabelle is the spanish form of Elizabeth) and she is called Izzy versus Lizzy. And now we will have Miss Elli Mae...so cute!
Great Aunt Kathy

Five wonderful mothers all expecting!
Left to right: Sister-in-Law: Georgia Mae due in March, Sister-in-Law: Carolyn due January, Crystal's sister Amanda, Due October 31, then Crystal's childhood friend Mariah Due mid October, and finally Crystal due September 3rd! Everyone of these women hold a special place in my heart and all five of them are awesome mothers with 20 children between them!
All the wonderful gifts for Baby Elli
Elli Mae's Nursery
Elli will not have a nursery of her own. Sage's room will remain empty and Elli Mae will be in Crystal and Spencer's room, highly monitored and within arms reach. Crystal has done a wonderful job of decorating Elli's space!
Elli's bedding has humming birds. If you have been reading Sage's blog you will know that it seems when times are getting a little tuff Sage sends a humming bird.
Every dress hanging on the crib and basinette was bought by one VERY excited Daddy!
Notice the second dress from the left? The green one...
It's very special because...
"Rare Too" "SAGE" It is such a sweet sweet message

Crib skirt. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the back side of Elli's bumper pads. They are beautifully smocked the detail is amazing.
Daddy went on a huge shopping spree a couple of weeks ago. He took special care choosing the perfect crib paying close attention to safety.
Spencer did many hours of research and finally found the perfect crib mattress. The mattress is made from bamboo and is completely breathe-able. Full air flow for Elli. The bamboo is srubbable and water proof too. One side of the mattress is firm and very flat for the infant stage then can be turned over for a softer more pillowy side for the toddler stage. Don't ask how expensive it was because peace of mind is worth a lot! Isn't Elli's space awesome!
Everybody is so excited to meet Elli. I don't think a day will go by that she doesn't feel completely loved!

I have tears running down my face. i am so excited and look forward to meeting her so much! I look HAPPY something that most of the time I think I fake...but today I felt JOY and felt close to Sage as well. i think he was happy that his Mom was happy. Her room looks awesome! I love her name as well! I think it is perfect. I am so excited to pregnant with all of these beautiful women! Amanda did a great job and I look forward to her baby boy! Love you Mom and Aunt Amanda.
It was a wonderful shower and I am so happy for Crystal! Amanda, you did awesome! I had no idea you guys had everything all ready for sweet Elli already. Such a beautiful room. Perfect for a beautiful new little girl! :)
The shower was beautiful, the company was beautiful and the mama was beautiful. I enjoyed meeting gals that I have heard about and just visiting. Who would have dreamed that that funny little tomboy could be such a great party planner some day? Isn't just the funnest thing to see how all those little ankle biters turned out? I love it!
I have to wonder about people who feel like all get togethers have to be some thing wild. The afternoon was so warm,friendly, and pleasant at least for all the guests! Very relaxing for all of those who have such busy frantic lives.
Love the baby bump picture, they are all special young women aren't they?
So glad that you included us!
It looks like a perfect baby shower with friends, family and everything Elli will need for a long time! Congratulations on a new baby girl, soon to come! I'm glad your family was around you to see you experience such joy. I'm happy for you.
