May Flowers and Baby Showers

Our amazing hosts had originally planned an outdoor, late afternoon brunch for us, but the weather did not cooperate.  The shower moved locations due to the rain, but I have to say, being indoors with all of our friends and family felt really special!  The hosts did such an amazing job putting everything together and making it special for us.  I got emotional just walking inside!  Everything was so beautiful!  I'll let the pictures do the talking...

A hand painted  "O" was hanging on the door, which will soon be part of our nursery! 

Welcome!

All of my favorite things! Pigs-in-blankets, quiches, fruit salad, cinnamon rolls, and Petit Fores!
Lemonade, Bloody Mary's and Mimosas (with Tott's champagne - how clever!) were served.

I loved the yellow touches.  The petit fores have a yellow "O" on them as well

A jogging stroller!  Thanks Mom & Dad!
 Bringing gifts unwrapped was a brilliant idea!  No clean up from wrapping paper AND everyone can see the gifts.  Baby gifts are so much fun - notice the darling Roo and red Tom's shoes!

These are my wonderful hosts (minus two - Denise left earlier and Michele couldn't make it from Wimberly).  They each received a different color monogrammed John Hart pouch.  
Mich, we missed you and I can't wait to see you soon! 

The hosts: Lisa (expecting a boy in October), Claire (getting married in November), Stacey (getting married in June) and Darby (my best friend since childhood).  Such great friends!!

It's a little one sided!  We shall see! 
I love the small caption below that reads "A horned frog"

Denise & I, playing with the host gift
We are a tad bit obsessed with baby items at the moment!
As you can see, Denise (one of the hosts) is having a baby in July too!   
She is due a couple weeks before me - how fun!

Everything coordinated in yellow and grey, how thoughtful!!

We are really looking forward to evening walks to the ice cream shop down the street! Yay!
A huge Thank You to the hosts for a wonderful shower and amazing gift!
