I was fortunate to be able to attend Liz's (my niece) baby shower this weekend to experience this fun-filled occasion. Kristen hosted the event with lots of attention to the beautiful details to make this a very special time for everyone.
Proud 'soon-to-be' parents; Liz and David |
This was also an opportunity for visiting, especially with family and friends that haven't seen each other for awhile.
Aunt Kelly and Harper |
Cousins Emma and Cooper |
Oh oh.... |
taking turns showing off their dance moves |
Stella liked the strawberries; but was told here that she needed to eat her lunch first before dessert. |
and hugs....
hugs from the front were a little hard to do!! |
and presents opened....
with plenty of helpers....
There were even helpers for recording the wonderful presents.
This helper accumulated bows...
and ribbons....
as the wide variety of presents were opened.
Some brought 'ooohs' and 'aaahs'
Liz definitely has a lovely 'maternity glow'!! |
Cats were kind of an inside joke |
With more hugs given, it was soon learned that side by side ones were easier...
Sisters |
Stella now gets to enjoy the strawberries :-)
As goodbyes are said...
Presents are taken out and packed into the car....
As Emma and Stella keep watch over another adorable baby.
I do believe that everyone's level of anticipation has increased 10 fold this afternoon !
