My friends Sarah, Rachael, Cari-Beth, and Ashley threw me a baby shower a few weeks back.  I know, I know…I’m behind on posting about my showers.  I apologize.  So here we go.

Sarah made the most adorable name banner for Grayson.  What talent.  She is awesome at throwing parties/showers.

She also made these adorable hangings of my belly shots that show my growth throughout the weeks of my pregnancy.  They hung just about the refreshment table.

They ladies made an amazing coffee and ice cream punch (decaff) especially for me.  I love this stuff.  It taste just like a Starbucks frappachino.

Meet Sophie,  my future daughter-in-law.  Just kidding.

Sophie is my friend and neighbor Betsy’s little girl.  Derek and Betsy grew up together and have been great friends since the 4th grade.  Now Betsy and her husband Jonathan live just down the block from us ,and have a daughter that was born in January.  We like to joke that Sophie and Grayson will one day fall in love and get married.  Wouldn’t that be nice?  To know the girl your son marries since the day she was born.

Sophie got all dressed up for the shower.  Just look at those flowers on her shoes.  The girl really knows how to win a boy’s momma over.

Not only was Sarah the hostess, but she played double duty that day writing down all the gift for me.  My baby sissy was in Ireland at the time.  Yeah….like I felt bad for her.

Here I am with all the lovely ladies that helped host the shower.  Thanks girls!

Sarah made me a mommy-to-be pin to wear during the shower that consisted of a cute green ribbon and pacifier.  Every time I got near Sophie she tried to put the pacifier in her mouth.  So funny.

See that adorable owl I’m holding?  Sarah knew what my little man’s bedding looked like, and said she went on a mission to find the perfect owl to go in his room.  I think she nailed it.  She found this adorable handmade owl at the Carrot Fever Etsy shop.  The second I walked in the door I noticed the owl just chilling on top of the gift pile and I melted.  I love this sweet little guy so much.

Here’s the loot.  Thank you so much to everyone that was able to attend the shower.  We love you all and are so blessed to have you in our lives.
