A shower for Karla

My Mom, Grandma, a good friend of Karla's, and I were able to host a baby shower for Karla's first baby whom is due to be born around Thanksgiving. The theme was "Karla and Justin's 'Lil Pumpkin" and we decorated with a Halloween style. Karla's friend Brandi did a great job with the decorations and I think it all looked really cute. We had soup and breads for the meal and it was a perfect crisp, fall day for it all. Karla looks great and we are all really excited to see her new baby, especially since we don't know if it is a boy or a girl. I requested that she have the baby before Thanksgiving so that we can all love on him or her when we celebrate the holiday. We'll see when baby Rausch decides to arrive. We can't wait!

Mia came with us to celebrate. She was excited to come to a girl party, but boy was Jackson bummed when we left him in Indy that morning. He told me that we had to have another party sometime with boys so that he could come, but he wanted Nana, Mia, and I to be there as well. Poor guy. Mia was super shy and reserved the whole party, but as soon as all the "strangers" left she was running around and being her typical self. It was a fun day!
