Party At My Crib!

This weekend, Amanda came to visit for my pre-birthday celebration! She and Joel bought us some cute things for Mason. She got to feel him kick a lot too, I guess that's his way of thanking her or telling us that he wants Joel to coach him at soccer some day! While we were visiting downstairs, Lawton was hard at work upstairs! Now that the nursery is complete, I gave him permission to put the crib together, so he was on a mission! Here are some pictures...

I told him to yell down to us when he was ready for some help. Not much longer, he called me and told me to come up. I walked in expecting to find a mess..... and THE CRIB WAS COMPLETE! He put that thing together in no time! I checked it and it was perfect and very sturdy. So surprised!


The next day, Ouida, Harry and Hunter came to visit. They were anxious to see the nursery and we really needed some more opinions/ideas. After seeing the crib put together and still looking empty, they decided to take us to Babies R Us! We had such a great time with them. They wanted to buy our bedding, so we show them which one was on our registry and we even had a coupon for it! SCORE! Lawton picked out a mattress that was on sale, so we bought that for our little man. After dinner, they headed back to Fort Mill and we rushed home to "decorate" the crib! We still need to wash the linens and buy a mattress pad, but wanted to go ahead and see how it all looked. Ta-da!


Overall this weekend was the best pre-birthday present ever! The crib looks great! I got to hang out with family and friends! It was beautiful weather! Amanda bought me a mani/pedi! I hardly noticed that I lost an hour of it with the time change. We love you all!

Love,
Erika, Lawton, and Mason Swann
