sweet little baby

with a new kitchen to prep and bake in i was dying to throw a party..

a baby shower for a dear friend was the perfect excuse. it also gave us the motivation to get all the finishing touches on the kitchen complete.  leave it to us to wait until just hours before the party to finish hanging cabinet doors and to replace the existing kitchen light. 

awesome.

this baby will be loved by the most talented parents. we are so excited for them to welcome their baby girl. her nursery is the perfect pallet of gray, yellow and white with accents of coral.

what a stylin’ babe and she is not even here yet! oh, and just wait until you see all this baby’s swag.

the gray/yellow framed alphabet was a gift for her nursery.

my thought was to use the ribbon to hang it on the wall.

a brunch was the prefect venue for our large group of friends.

thankfully i had two of the best lady friends i could ask for to help pull the party off without a hitch.

my dad would have been so proud of the flower arrangements.

we all took a shot at making “brain squeezers” for the baby.

the cute bucket above was eventually filled with pretties for the princess.

happy baby hillary!

i’m sure we were laughing at my hair.

it’s never a good idea to pull your hair back without a mirror.
