Last weekend, my best friend
Gina and I were honored to share a DOUBLE baby girl shower hosted by our bestest friends from high school and their sweet mama's. It was such a perfect shower and a dream come true for Gina and me. We used to dream about having babies at the same time one day, especially little girls and even having a double baby shower (like they do in Father of the Bride, Part II)! Well... our dream came true!
We had such a fun time and our baby girls are definitly spoiled and blessed by so many friends and family that love them already so much. This was extra special for Gina because she was able to fly in from Virgina for the weekend to celebrate and squeeze in time with her friends/family before her baby girl arrives in December. It's so hard that she now lives in VA.
The shower was held at my mother-in-law's house (which was super nice for me because I didn't have to go anywhere.. being 34 weeks pregnant and not supposed to travel, made it super nice!)
Miss C received so many wonderful things... LOTS of clothes (and the last bit of my own baby clothes that I wore as a baby, my mama is incredible for saving all of these for me one day...), drying rack, hooded towels, her pink spa bath tub, diaper genie, my STROLLER (given by my amazing mother in law), gift cards, toys, books, her first American Girl doll (given by my first and oldest friend EVER)... quick story about that one... Mary and I have known each other since before first grade and our entire childhood was centered around our own American Girl dolls (I had Kirsten & she had Felicity) so needless to say, I LOVED that she gave Charlotte her first doll, our hostesses gave me my pack n play, and I also received another incredibly special gift. Gina's mom is an artist and she painted this incredible piece of art to hang in Charlotte's room (it's a painting of a little girl kneeling by the side of her bed... Lucy is even curled up in the corner and in between the curtains is written the prayer that my Daddy and I used to say every night before I went to bed, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, stay by my side all through the night, and wake me with the morning light." I can't wait to say that with Charlotte!
Enjoy these pics from our amazing shower :)
