baby shower!

A few weeks ago Kara and I had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower for our dear friend Kristen. We had a fun time planning the party and thinking of ways to make our "southern belle" feel loved! Here are the invitations I "designed" (or knocked off from something I found online!)

We wanted the decor to be classy yet fun, so we decided to use a mix of our china along with Martha's tissue paper balls to add little pizazz..



We had a little bit of salty [mini meatballs, veggie pizza, savory (aka "Yankee") cheese spread, hummus]...



and a little bit of sweet! [sugar cookies, oreo truffles, mini cupcakes + punch]



We played a few games...



watched Kristen open presents...



and enjoyed our (kid-free!) time with each other. (You know you are at a Gulf Drive (seminary owned housing) baby shower when there are multiple pregnant people there...we had 5 - see below!)



Maren felt like she was missing out and made a brief appearance :)



Isn't Kristen adorable?!



Kristen and the clean up crew...



Mitch + Kristen - we love you guys and can't WAIT to meet Mary Louise!!
