Baby Shower Time!

All I can say about Lily's baby shower is WOW!!!
  It was a day I'll never forget...celebrating our newest addition with family & friends.
 
On Saturday afternoon, I headed to my sister's house where the shower was held.  She & all the hostesses went above and beyond to make it a super special day for me & Lily.
For starters the decor was perfect...pink, pink, pink everywhere!  An adorable diaper wreath welcomed guests & a diaper carriage, along with sign-in frame and baby pics of me & Mr. S, greeted family and friends as they arrived.  There were pink pom-poms that hung over the food table, a precious burlap "Lillian Pace" banner (which will be used for future birthday parties!), and balloons & flowers that pulled everything together!  One room that wasn't pink...the dining room!  Since Little Miss will be a Christmas baby, the dining room was Christmas themed...LOVED it! :) 
Now, lets be honest, one of the most important things for a pregger is food & I must say---the food was delish!  We had mini chicken salad and pimiento n cheese sandwiches, mini quiche, fruit, cheese balls with crackers, veggie cups & the best mini cupcakes---are you hungry yet?!?!? 
After chowing down, came the baby shower activities...fun, fun!  There were personalized cards for everyone to write Lily a note, a bow making station & Christmas ball station for her 1st tree...I loved that we did things that Lily can one day look back on! :)   
Next came present time! (the best part--right?!?!) The generosity of our friends and family was overwhelming!  We received so many wonderful gifts- our jogging stroller, tub, a crazy amount of clothes, Little Miss's first jewelry, high chair, bumbo, books, bath essentials, diaper genie, boppy, sweet blankets.  Unpacking all the items we received was more than this mommy could take (insert tears galore!)- it warms my heart to know our sweet Lily is loved and cared for by so many people already...what a blessing!  Thank you to all our family & friends for supporting us, caring for us, loving us, and being here to help welcome our baby into the world...we love you all and know we are so incredibly lucky to have you in our lives!
