our baby girl's shower

5.13.2013

This past Saturday my dear friend, Stephanie, hosted a baby shower for our sweet baby girl. The shower setting was beautifully perfect.  It was equipped with my favorites--stargazer lillies, fresh fruit, an abundance of delicious oreos (the top contender in the line up of cravings I've had) , and a common theme (pulled from the vision of her room) of soft coral and mint green colors.  


Friends and family gathered outside on this gorgeous day to help celebrate with me.  One of the activities held was to write down wishes for the baby.  Among many tears of joy and happiness, they were all read out loud--a very special memory I will always cherish. 

We laughed, took photos, played 'baby bingo' and opened gifts.  By the looks of things, her wardrobe is getting to be bigger than mine!  Did I mention there was yummy cake, too?! I thoroughly, and clearly enjoyed it!

This day is one for the books.  Being surrounded by such love and support made me even more excited for the upcoming arrival of our baby girl. My hope for her is that she will have a similar foundation of friends and family that love and support her in her life's endeavors.

A few months back my friend, Tammie, and I decided it would be so fun to host a baby shower for our expecting friend from the gym, Stephanie. The moment that Stephanie informed me her little girl, Ava, would be having a ladybug themed room, I was ecstatic.  Providing affirmation of my love for themed parties, I jumped on the chance.  Ladybugs it would be! :)

Today we hosted a beautiful ladybug themed shower-equipped with a few themed items to mention: a handcrafted cake, 'flowered cut' sandwiches, painted themed flower pots, chocolate covered ladybug oreo favors, and a watermelon carved ladybug. This day will be forever cherished and fun to look back on.

It was so much fun celebrating "Miss. Ava" and her beautiful mommy with her friends and family.   Here are a few snapshots of the day, the theme, and all it had to offer.
