Baby Shower with my Las Vegas Friends!

This is the email invitation we sent out...I had fun making it :) Yes, I made my own invitation...but hey, I'm obsessed with making invitations, blog backgrounds, etc. so it was so fun!


Thanks to my wonderful sister, Michelle, I got to have a little shower with some good friends while in Las Vegas! We had it at Mimi's Cafe--my new favorite place to go to breakfast!! (GREAT pumpkin pancakes...yummm!)

My friends I used to work with at Wright Engineers, Bonny Bartlett and Melanie Mooney came! It was so fun to see them after such a long time! Also, my "adopted friends" (they're Michelle's friends that I now call MY friends too, since I visit so often) Joel (Jo-elle) and Marci came. Denette, Miranda, and Toni couldn't come unfortunately, but totally got me the best gifts!!! Thank you so much!!

Here are pictures of what I got and who gave them to me...thank you ALL. You are so awesome!!! My baby is going to have the cutest little things to wear, and you also got me some great practical stuff, which I LOVE!

OK so since I need to document my whole life, I even have pictures of ALL of the things I got. Unfortunately, I AM in all of the pictures--double chin and all!! :) haha...

This super-cute ensemble is from Melanie Mooney--so modern! LOVE IT!

Bonny Bartlett got me this adorable outfit--WITH little pink leggings (those are the cutest part of course) AND some really cute hair bows and flowers and a teething ring that is a dragonfly. I was totally spoiled!
Joel is awesome TOO! She got me a Bundleme thingie--that keeps the baby warm in a car seat and stroller, and a gift card--you are so awesome, Joel!

Ok, so Miranda I don't even KNOW, and she got me something!! She makes these awesome hoodie towels! So cute! I'm excited for the baby's first bath :)

Michelle couldn't resist getting me this little sweater dress. It is SOOOOOOO adorable. Now, my baby will dress as cute as Sydney :)

And Denette, who couldn't be there, pitched in on the Baby Bjorn, but ALSO got me this super cute red and white snowflake nightie. I love it!!

And last but not least, Marci, Toni, and Michelle got me this Baby Bjorn--I've been told is a MUST have (and apparently, you can't get a different brand either bc this is the best kind!). They are so awesome. Thank you guys soooo much!! I'm so lucky to have such great friends!

It was so great to see you! Baby showers are the best! Storksak is the diaper bag. I have the "Emily" bag in chocolate and I LOVE it! They also have other really cute bags. You should check them out. And I would recommend that you find a store that carries the bag so you can see it in person to make sure its exactly what you want and then you can order it online if its cheaper that way.
