SATURDAY WAS MY BABY SHOWER!!!!!!!!

I have to type that in all caps, because it was so much fun!! My amazing sisters threw it for me. Kelsey is the freaking queen of all things cute and Pinteresty. The shower was perfect. We had a waffle bar and games and PRESENTS! Yay baby presents! There was also a creepy baby balloon and it was awesome.

They made a special table just for Maddie :) So sweet!

See those little cupcake like things. Those are buntinis!! From Nothing Bunt Cake. AND THEY TASTE LIKE LITTLE PIECES OF HEAVEN.

I was so glad I got to have one in California. There are so many people here I love and miss! I got to celebrate with them all! So many people were able to come! High school friends, childhood friends, and the lovely women from the ward I grew up in who helped raise me. I wish I had gotten pictures with each person. I was overwhelmed with love! Even those who couldn't come sent gifts and cards. I am a lucky lady to have the support and love that I do.

There are my two oldest friends! Valerie, on the far left, was my first friend when we moved to Mission Viejo when I was 8. Tahnee joined us soon after. Tahnee and I were literally inseparable all throughout Elementary school and middle school. It was so much fun to catch up with them!!!

Handsome waffle makers.

My Mormon ladies :)

Some of my favorite women!

The brave people ate outside. It was quite sunny and hot. Maybe we were all sweating.

I was spoiled rotten with adorable clothing and gift cards and tons of baby essentials that we were in great need of. A bunch of people chipped in to get me an amazing glider and ottoman for the baby room!! I am so excited for it to be shipped to me! :)

We played a fun celebrity baby name game that Jessica set up and I totally won. Embarrassing, or awesome? People hung around and talked and then headed out. A few more high school friends showed up and we all ended up sitting and talking for a couple more hours. It was so great to see them all! It was like no time had passed.

After everyone left, we had a photoshoot. Because that's what we do!

I love this. Nathan is always making fun of the people who put hearts on their stomachs, haha.

I can't say enough about how lovely this morning was. I was anxious. I lost Madelyn 3 days before my baby shower. I felt like I would never get here and get to celebrate my little girl. It was the most wonderful day. Thank you Kelsey and Jessica for throwing me a party fir for a princess! And thank you to everyone who came!
