During my trip to Minnesota my mom & sister hosted a baby shower for me! It was pretty surreal to be at MY own baby shower! I was very excited to get together with some very special ladies in my life to celebrate our baby girl. The baby shower was hosted at a park in my mom's neighborhood under a cute gazebo.
My sister know's exactly my style & did such a cute job with all the details at the shower! She ended up having a lot of pieces at the shower that I would be able to use again in the nursery and I absolutely loved that!!
It was a nice August summer day, but man oh man was it windy!
From the pink bow paper straws...
beautiful pink roses...
all the precious baby clothes & goodies on the clothes line...
to the adorable baby rattle cupcakes I was overjoyed with all the cuteness!
Eek! I had been trying to order one of these precious piggies for SO long and I was so surprised to see one hanging on the clothes line!! I just have a feeling our little girl is going to love pigs as much as I do! :)
Now my mom & sister definitely know me because they had Chipotle catered for the food at the shower and oh my goodness was this preggo a happy gal!
It was so yummy! And what a great idea right?!
After chowing down on Chipotle we played a cute game of "Mommy or Daddy." Everyone was given 2 popsicle sticks which had a pair of lips on one representing me and another that had a firefighter hat representing Sean. My sister asked questions and everyone had to hold up their answer with either the lips or firefighter hat. I was pretty impressed with how many ladies knew all the answers! I guess that's a good thing with how well they know me ;) It was a really cute game. She also planned a cute game with little babies frozen inside ice cubes. Everyone got a baby ice cube in their punch and once the ice cube melted and the little baby was floating inside their cup they had to yell "My water broke!" first to win! I then opened all the lovely baby gifts and wow did baby girl and I get spoiled!
My sister had asked guests to bring a baby book instead of a card and I really loved that idea! Now I will have all these adorable baby books in the nursery & will be able to read the sweet notes from who purchased it for us every time we read their book!
I am so grateful for each and everyone one of these ladies that are in my life...
(sorry missing a few!)
(Sean stopped by at the end just to say hello!)
I had such a great time at the baby shower and felt so blessed and thankful. It's moments like these that are a huge reminder to just how lucky I am to have these close friends in my life. I do not get to see or stay in touch as often as I would like to with everyone with being so far away, but they are always there to support me and for that I am so grateful. I can't wait for everyone to meet our baby girl!
Oh and I had a lot of fun with the fabulous giant confetti filled balloons...

Thank you mommy & Did for a wonderful baby shower and thank you again to everyone who came to celebrate our baby girl!
