Some After-Party Glow Love



Here are a few of my beginner photos from the baby shower this Sunday.  These are really only after-the-fact photos.  I was too busy running around to think about pictures....

I also didn't setup or cook as planned (but isn't that how life goes?)  I got a migraine on Saturday...and luckily a dear friend stepped-in to cater for me!  What a blessing.  (I think I will be spoiled from hereafter.  Have you ever had someone cater in your home?  It is the best!  Think of how busy you are cleaning and (attempting) to get yourself ready.  


See what I mean about attempting?  I stuck my hair up in the morning and that is how it stayed.  Here is me with my sweet pregnant friend, Jillian.




And more girlfriends...

Does this even need a caption?

yummy peach sangria




my girlfriend made caramel frosting from scratch (her grandma's recipe) for Baby D.







I love the glow of a party after a party







We all felt a little like Olii







Baby showers are special.  They are gifts, aren't they?
