A Sip & See for Eleanor

This past Saturday myself and four other lovely lady friends hosted a Sip & See for our friend Taylor and her brand new baby girl, Eleanor. We decided to do a brunch, which I think was the best decision ever! We had mini pancakes, french toast sticks, mini quiches, a yogurt bar, and the most amazing thing I have ever tasted, a frappuccino punch. 

I found the most adorable free printables from Onto Baby, one of my most favorite blogs. They are completely customizable, FREE, and beautifully designed. 

As we were setting up everything was turning out insanely cute. I kept kicking myself because I had forgotten my camera at home, but then I realized I had taken my husband's car so he would have mine with the carseat for Violet. He had left his camera in the backseat from the previous workday! 

We had so much fun oooohing and ahhhing over sweet baby E, it was such a lovely morning with friends.

Circus Baby Shower

Last weekend was our family/couple baby shower that our parents threw for us. My mom came up with the theme and made all of the decorations, favors, cake topper, etc. We had cotton candy, cupcakes, peanuts, white chocolate popcorn,  and animal crackers all decked out in the cutest containers you will probably ever see. She even chalked the background to the sweets table and the welcome sign at the front door. Yeah, she is kind of good at this stuff. The yummy food, (which was of course your typical circus food... hot dogs, chili, and chips) was provided by my dad and mother-in-law. We had such a wonderful time with our family and friends. Thank you to our amazing parents who put it on for us and to everyone who came over to love on and support us!

Oh! I almost forgot! The last gift that was handed to me to open didn't have a card so I didn't know who it was from, then Robby looked at me and said, "that's from me!" My absolutely precious husband surprised me with the sweetest gift, a pink pearl ring! Ummmm, someone scored lots and lots of points with that one! He's the sweetest! (You can see my beautiful new ring in the picture below where I am holding the cupcake)
