Hostesses were: Jessica Lais (at her home), Meredith Looney Pelton, Claire Parnell Sizemore, Sarah Douglas Beach, Cindy Maas. They outdid themselves.
Walking into the house... welcome to my baby shower! Still feels surreal.
Right when you walked in to the right, the guest book and an arrangement with Tripp and I's baby pics!
The whole party was the perfect blend of fall and baby boy.
Food - mini quiches, french toast sticks, hash browns, fruit, salad. It was brunch themed (since it started at 11am) and those items are exactly what I order at brunch!
Drink station - with a handmade sign by Jess that goes perfectly with his room.
Next to the drink station, she had a slideshow of Tripp and I's baby pics.
Outside - dessert area. I mean... too precious.
LOOK at the cake and those cookies. Jess ordered them from Joplin and they were so delicious!
Mere did all of the flower arrangements - she has mad flower skills... I do not!
Pics with the hostesses :)
Mere's mom, Janet, stopped by for just a minute at the beginning - so all four of us + our moms (and now two babies!) in one pic. We have lots of pics of the 8 of us - mom's day during college, weddings... and now babies. All Chi O's too! Evelyn (Claire's baby) just turned one month old and Douglas (Sarah's baby) is 3 weeks!
This girl. It's hard to put into words how thankful I am for her day in and and day out... but today, she did everything she could to make this as special as it could be. And she did that and more. I cannot imagine my life without her.
All of the ladies in our family - I told Jess our families rollll out, so I wasn't surprised when only a few out of the total guest list invited regretted.
Sarah brought lots of hand me downs from her boys!
We sat outside to open presents - it was a great setup and awesome weather. Jess made these pumpkins for us... one for my mom "Honey", me in the center, and one for Mary Ann "Marnee."
We got so many great gifts - people were too generous. I loved them all!
Handmade burp cloths by Jess' sister, Bethany. ADORABLE!
Stork door hanger from Pudd - we saw this years ago in a local Helena store and talked about getting it one day... and she did! :)
Billie Sue gifted this book that has been passed down generations in the family. It was given to Tripp from his grandmother in 1987 when Tripp was one year old. Then it was passed down to Tripp's cousin in Texas in 1997 and then back to another cousin's child, Spencer Rohrscheib, in 2010. Now it's for Baby Davis!
Crazy Aunt Cheryl always entertaining ;) She put some of my gifts down her shirt ha.
Molly McIllwain, Emily's daughter, helping open a present.
Everything was perfect. Missed a few people being there, but other than that - it couldn't have been better. I came home and started organizing a bit, but my mom is coming over tomorrow and we are going to spend the day nesting! Can't wait. It's all coming together!
