Baby Shower #1

I know it's been a couple of months since we welcomed Ella into our family. But I'd like to rewind a bit and document the lovely showers thrown by our friends and family prior to her arrival. So here is the first. This shower was hosted by my very good friends, Sarah, Julie, and Jaclyn. Jaclyn took the photos and created the invitations. She has her own photography and design business, which is really starting to take off. Check her out on Facebook, and you'll see why... One Twenty Two Photo & Design.

My favorite part of the shower (other than the company, of course)
was the hot chocolate bar.

Some of the decor...

How pretty are these ROYGBIV fruit kabobs?

Super cute cupcakes...

My even cuter friends...

Just kidding...I have no idea what she's talking about.  Looks like it must have been pretty captivating though.

It's not a shower without a little gift opening...

Oh geez, I must have said something really funny here.  Happens a lot.

It was a terrific shower, complete with beautiful and thoughtful details.  I consider myself very blessed to have such great friends.  Great friends who know how to throw a party.  Thanks ladies!
