A Baby Shower

The celebration of my baby shower also coincided with my birthday, this way I can never forget the day! It also happened to be during one of the bigger snow storms of the year. (This 'luck' will become a trend, more on that in future posts..) I was so thankful to everyone who braved the snow to drive into Stoughton to come see me and celebrate the coming of our little one!

My sisters & family did such an amazing job organizing and creating such a gorgeous setting for this special day. I chose the theme Monarch Butterflies because the colors are beautiful and if you know me I have a thing for moths and little winged things- also pink is among my least favorite colors, so the butterflies are beautiful, girlie and soft but without pink!

My sister Chanley is the most organized person I know, she is also a little bit of a self professed control freak- which I love about her. She practically organized the entire thing, while working a full time job with a toddler at home - #momgoals. My sister Hanah created the beautiful invites, games & balloon garland, while my mom + mother in law made all the amazingly scrumptious food!

We had a gourmet waffle bar with all the fixings you could imagine - both sweet & savory; egg frittata, mini cupcakes, donuts and mimosa bar. I was excited about eating the left overs for the next week!

The one thing I wish I had more of was photos with my family during this day. We all get so caught up in talking, playing games, + opening the CUTEST baby things that I didn't get to document the friends and family that came. I was lucky that Hanah brought her camera and thought enough to snap images for me. It also made it hard that I could barely get up out of my chair!

Truly blessed to have all the amazing people in my life. My sisters & best friends made this celebration perfect. <3
