[a whole lot of] baby shower lovin.'

pre-shower. 33 wk belly. and fyi, when you give a 5 year old a camera, yer head will get chopped.
[let me set the scene for you.
4 weeks ago.
perfect tempurature.
sun setting.
dusk.
twinkle lights strung just right.
some ingrid michaelson in the background.
food!
pretty striped straws!
bunting galore! :)
and laughter.
lots of laughter.]

[the decor. the pics don't even do it justice. it was the most beautiful thing EVER. down to every detail!]
i got a photo booth & a candy bar for cryin' out loud!
decorate your own cupcake bar :)

the food was amazing! sandwiches, fruit kabobs, salads. mmm, it was so, so good.

[all of my beeeeeautiful friends+family!]



[the part where we got a lil' too much lemonade in.]

the party planners extraordinaire.
aunt + cousins. hotttt.
my mom. love her.
hi karen, hiiii! [she was in her element.]



my mother-n-law & a sweet baby pig :) lol.


[and my gifts. oh, the gifts. this might need it's own post. 
i have the craftiest, bestest friends in the whole world. i dare you to test this :) eden is one spoiled babe.]


[i will forever remember this night. i was SO spoiled & blessed. i mean, when i saw it all, i cried. it was a good one. karis put her whole heart into this night for me+eden & i can never thank her enough. celebrating this baby girl's life with my closest friends + family was surreal! she'll be here in 2 short weeks [or less!] and will forever be apart of my family. crazy, right?! and these people come along with the package, eden, so watch out! heh. :) SO grateful to walk through this journey with friends + family like these by my side. God has been so gracious to me. she is one loved little girl.]

p.s. this wasn't even half of the pictures. holymoly. can we do it again?!

Oh, this just made me all kinds of melty! What an AMAZING shower. The decor, the gifts, the cupcake bar, all the happy faces. I'll bet Ellie and Audrey loved it almost as much as you!

Also, you are looking absolutely gorgeous, lady. Love the dress, love the belly!
