MN Baby Shower and Thanksgiving

8 weeks to go until Baby Boy White! I cannot believe how little that amount of time is and how fast it will go with all the holiday excitement coming up. November has been a wonderful month, we went home to MN for an absolutely, lovely shower our Aunt Laura threw for me. It was an amazing day that I didn't want to end. Seeing so many family in friends in one place was such a gift in itself. Then the shower was like nothing I had seen or been to before they went all out in the decorations, food and the whole thing. We are so lucky and spoiled. I have included some pictures from that day below. So many of our wonderful friends and family were so generous and thoughtful with their gifts as well. It was a great trip to MN.























As you can see from the pictures it was another amazing shower. Today is black friday yesterday was Thanksgiving and we did our usual tradition and ran a turkey day 5k and Thanksgiving with our awesome friends. I ran/walked the turkey day 5k in under 45 minutes which I was really proud of. 

Today we will up our Christmas decorations and just relax. Love this time of year. Coming soon on the next blog, maternity photos and photos of the nursery almost completed!

Love,
Brendan, Alyssa and Baby White

Utah Baby shower, Halloween and Beer Brewing

It seems like a great, snuggly morning to update our blog. Its snowing and blustery outside and with the clocks finally changing a nice morning to sleep in late. Our lovely little old man puppy got in on the action too!
October was a great month, my lovely friends Sara and Erin threw me a wonderful baby shower here in Utah with my friends. Both my Moms and my Dad flew into town for the weekend. The shower was so cute they went with our adventure nursery theme and had such cute details like the aviator bear made from burp rags and bottle brush. I wanted to include some pictures as well. Enjoy!






This year we ended up not having any type of costume party and we were too lazy to throw one ourselves. Instead the Monday before Halloween we had friends over and we had chili and carved pumpkins. It was really fun and might end up becoming a tradition too. Here are some pictures from that evening.

November is looking to be a busy and great month as well. We will be flying to MN soon for our baby shower there with friends and family, this little boy is very spoiled already. We have felt so blessed with all the love from family and friends. Both of us have busy work months and are looking forward to the usual turkey day 5k and Thanksgiving with friends here. I am officially third trimester and baby boy is doing great. My tummy keeps moving out and its crazy how quickly time is going. Brendan has picked up a new hobby of brewing beer to make the time go a little quicker as well. Here is a picture of him and Andy working on their second batch. 
Until the next blog....

Love,
Alyssa, Brendan and Baby White
