Best. Shower. Ever.

A couple of weeks ago my friend Emily shared with me a fabulous idea she had for us celebrating our friend Sarah's soon-to-arrive third baby.  "Let's see if we can have Ben arrange a message for her and while she's there we'll take her kids and have all of our children design and paint onesies for the new baby!"

Even us big girls got in on the action!

It was easily the best shower ever!  Kids chasing chickens (more on that in another post), painting onesies for the baby to be (who should be arriving in the next couple of weeks), mama-to-be not there at first because of a massage appointment, hangin' out with super fun families way later than we all planned, and dining on some of the most delicious guacamole we've all ever eaten!  All baby showers should be this low key and awesome!  Thanks Em for such a brilliant idea! 

Baby Celebration

Today we threw a baby celebration for our dear friend Sarah who is expecting her second baby (a boy!) later this month!

While Dave took Grace to dance class, Grandma, Emma and I put the finishing touches on some food, set the table and straightened up the house before everyone arrived.  It made for a very busy start to our day, after our extremely busy day yesterday.  But, it was so worth it!

Welsh Cakes made by Sarah's Mom. 

Boo Boo Bunnies.

We gave Sarah hooded towels that Mary was so kind enough to make. 

Blue for the baby.

Raspberry for the soon-to-be big sister.  

Perfect!

Claire and Leslie made lots of food for Sarah and Ben to freeze for when the baby comes. 

What a fabulous gift!

Another impressive cake made by Mary.  

Today was so much fun!  

We had an absolutely fabulous time celebrating Sarah and her soon-to-be family of four. 

It was indeed, the perfect way to spend a chilly February Saturday.

Now, after all the excitement I am finally heading to bed. 

Sleep well, dear friends. 

We'll see you tomorrow.
