Maternity Monday: Baby Shower - The Hosts

So this past Saturday my sweet and dear friends, Bunny and Kate, hosted an absolutely fantastic, wonderful and just perfect baby shower for our sweet Jace. I really couldn't have had a better time. And let me tell you...it's kinda been an epiphany for me.  Another one of my favorite days ever, and I was totally sober. That's sayin' something right there.

My baby shower was so much fun that I'll have to divide it out into three different posts. So today, I'll focus on the hosts. Bunny has turned into a total pro when it comes to showers.  She hosted our wedding shower last year. She hosted our baby shower this year. And I told to her to start preparing for a divorce shower next year (totally kidding, y'all). She has these showers down to a science.  She is an invitation, decoration, and food-making pro. And she is always so kind to give up her beautiful home for these special occasions. She has brought so much celebration and fun into my life - and I am forever grateful for her giving friendship :)

Kate is the better half of one of our favorite married couples. She's also a fairly newbie momma to a beautiful baby boy, Thomas (aka Jace's future mentor). Thomas is one of those babies that will just give any unsure adult total confidence. Since day one, he has been the most laid back, easygoing, sweetest and happiest babies that I have ever been around. It doesn't matter who picks the cutie patootie up, he's going to warm your heart with his sweet, infectious smile. I hope I'm half the momma that Kate has been :)

 

The decorations were just adorable. Like...I can't decide on my favorite part! The balloons? The onesies on clothespins? That awesome cake?? It all just warmed my soul! Unfortunately, I was too dang busy having such a great time that I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked, but here goes:

 

 

FYI - that punch was a new creation by Bunny and was to die for. I can't imagine how fantastic it would be with a little bit of vodka or rum in it :)

And this fooooood. ohhh emm geeeeee, this food. This is only half of what was served. Pretty sure Baby Jace hit the 7 pound mark after this shower was over:

 

I'm so thankful for Bunny and Kate for giving me (and Josh and Jace) such a special day, and I'm not sure how I'll ever repay them. I love these two ladies so much, and I just can't express my gratitude enough.

17 more days until your due date, Baby Jace. We just can't wait :)
