Lindsay's Baby Shower

2013 has been full of celebrations! Lindsay, one of my oldest friends, my freshman suite-mate at UT, and Maid of Honor is having her first Baby. I am so excited to get to shower her and Baby Andrew! I had so much fun planning her shower because it gave me a great excuse to talk to some old friends from college and high school. I love these girls! 

Theme: More of a color scheme

Food included a brunch theme since that was all that the Mom-to-Be could think that she had been craving including a yogurt bar.

Ashleigh made this and I thought it turned out so cute! A new take on the diaper cake.

All the guests filled these out for Baby Andrew.

We also had guests bring a book instead of a card for Baby Andrews library.

Lindsay looked beautiful as always

Linds, you are going to make a wonderful Mommy.

Hostesses: Ioana (sister-in-law), Brooke (MJ), Ashleigh (UT), Linds, Missy (MJ), Me, Rachel (MJ), and Emily (MJ)

Typical Lindsay expression! Wonder if Baby Andrew will have her big smile and I am really hoping he thinks I am as funny as his Mommy does.

Chalkboard Shower Celebrating Todd & Laing

It has been ages since I have hosted a baby shower or wedding shower and this Spring I will have 3! Tis the season to celebrate life changes!!! Garrick's friend since high school, Todd and his wife Laing are expecting their first little boy in March. Baby Brown will be the 8th boy out of 10 of Garrick's high school crew. The only girls in the group are the Novak Girls. We hosted a couples shower with the Novaks.

Todd & Laing

My new obsession. I saw this on a burp cloth and thought this was hysterical and was perfect for the Parents-to-Be. Garrick does not seem to think this is as hilarious as I do...

Look who joined us - The Gregorys!

Hoping to win the prize!

Celebrating Dani and Baby Jacob

For the second weekend in a row I am throwing a baby shower. I really should do this for a living! Dani, my friend since 7th grade, is having her first baby. We had old friends and family over to celebrate at my house. Childhood friends are so special no matter how many years go pass. I am so excited to meet this Baby boy in August!

Dani's Sister-in-law, Madonna, made the cake and did the candy table. It was so cute and delicious.

I think this may be my favorite banner i have made yet! I hope she sticks with this name!

We filled out Baby Wishes cards for Baby Jacob.

Nurse Dan came to visit me and went into my c-section with me when I had Will.

Celebrating LeeAnn and Baby Carolina

I headed to Knoxville this weekend to hang out with girlfriends and celebrate LeeAnn's first baby, baby Carolina Lola de Abiega Richards...a mouthful huh?!?! This is LeeAnn's last trip to the States before having Baby Carolina in October in Madrid, Spain. 

Mom-to-Be

LuLu's Tea Room is a super cute tea room in Powell. It was perfect for a Southern Shower. 

Mom made strawberry cake pops for LeeAnn's gift and to use as favors. So yummy and super cute!

Love the baby pics of LeeAnn and Ricardo

MacKenzie and I got Baby Carolina some must-have orange accessories for the Fall

All the ADPi gals went in to give LeeAnn money towards her baby stroller and a little ADPi Legacy Bib.
