The big white box?

I arrived home from work today to find a big white box sitting in the middle of my living room.  The outside read "open this end up" with big arrows all the way around...
I probably would have been really confused if I didn't recognize the handwriting as that of my sister! Then I was just wondering what the heck she was possibly sending me in this box and WHY was she sending me anything right now at all?  I'm not due for 12 more weeks... I don't have any shower for 2 more weeks...
After finding Jason and asking him what was going on, he grabbed the camera and let me open it.

 After a little confusion on what I was actually looking at and eventually finding the card with an explanation, I discovered that what I had recieved was not just a package from my sister, but was an entire "baby shower in a box!" Mindy had gotten together with my family and friends from back east and gathered up letters, pictures and presents to surprise me!

It was an awesome surprise and I'm still exstatic about it all 5 hours later!! Thank you to everyone that took time to participate in this.  It means SO much to me and is something that I will not forget.  Maybe it's just hyper-preggo senses but every package I opened had a smell from everyone house.  It was a weird trigger of memories and as corny as it sounds, made me think of hugging each of you.

So after pulling everything out of the box I was left with a massive pile of presents to open.
Among lots of other goodies...

Landon got cute clothes!

great books!
and shoes (booties)!


And as promised, Mindy did send us a PeePee cover (I'm SOOO excited about this):
