One Lucky Little Girl (and Mom too)!

Baby D and I had the most AMAZING baby shower this past weekend! I mean absolutely fabulous! To say that it was more than anything I could have ever expected would be an understatement! My four best friends threw the most fantastic baby shower I have ever been to and I felt beyond lucky for it to be mine! I don't even know where to begin! The whole day I was in lala land - I first couldn't believe that I was at a baby shower for my baby and then couldn't believe how beautiful everything was! It was a candyland theme and if you know me - I love candy and especially right now! There were so many personal touches and tiny details that I am still in shock! It truly was beautiful! The food was amazing, the drinks were yummy, and dessert was delicious! A good friend from Richmond made an absolutely stunning cake - just for me and Baby D! You should check her out at http://bsweetcakes.com/home.html! I will try and get a picture up here of it soon! And then on to the gifts - I am beyond humbled at the many wonderful things that were given to myself and Baby D! She is a very lucky and spoiled little girl already! We received so many wonderful things! I can't thank Val, Cheryl, Courtney and Ellen Anne enough for all of their planning, hard work and execution of the day! It means the world to me! I also am so appreciative to all the guests that could come and all the wonderful gifts! It was great to be able to visit with everyone and celebrate this baby girl! Thank you so much!

Here are a few pictures from the day! The first couple are the amazing ladies who hosted the shower. Cheryl - I don't have any pictures of the two of us - I am hoping that Ellen Anne got one on her camera! Not happy about that! At least we got you with your new "purse" - haha!





It was even more of a special day because I found out my good friend, Lauren, got engaged last week! I am SUPER excited for her and Chip! She is an amazing girl and I am so happy she has found someone that makes her so happy! Congratulations Lauren!





It was just a great weekend overall! I got to spend lots of time with all my best friends. Cheryl was here for 3 days from NY, Courtney (and Kona) came down for the night and Kevin and Ellen Anne came to hang out after the shower too! We had a fun time up at Glory Days! The highlight of the night was Photohunt. Greg insisted we get the number one score before we leave. As you can see it was an intense game! As a TEAM we beat it (including Cheryl who was taking this picture). Courtney and I were trying to come up with good names like Ritsmelsucks. Unfortunately, it took too much time and Greg didn't get anything entered. Therefore it reads - PLAYER 1 as top score...who will believe us?!?!
