celebrating baby hunter

Katie, me and our mom

great friends celebrating with me

sisters

fun gifts
and
awesome cupcakes
This past weekend was a blast. My mom and her good friend, Kelley, came in town for a few days to help me finish decorating my house. Kelley has an amazing gift and I love going around town shopping with her. She tells me what I need to buy and I do it! So fun. After a busy two days of that, it was time to celebrate Hunter.

My neighbor and sweet friend, Jen, wanted to throw me a baby shower. I decided that a girl's dinner was all I needed and so she took charge and sent invitations, got her crafty self on by making me an amazing diaper cake and made a Sprinkles trip for my favorite cupcakes. She also had a few other surprises up her sleeve. She knew my mom was going to be in town, but she talked with my sister and sister in law and they were planning a big surprise. About two hours before dinner, the doorbell rang and my SISTER was standing there. I was in TOTAL shock. It was such a fun treat having her here and meant a lot to me. My sister in law made plans to come, but couldn't come because of the weather they were predicting for Dallas and east Texas. We missed her! Jen, it was an amazing dinner and I so appreciate everything you did for me. You went way above and beyond. Loved it and loved celebrating my little guy!! Thank YOU!
