One of my oldest friends - we've been friends since pretty much the womb, now has a little baby girl in hers. She is 6 months pregnant - but you can't tell from the pictures. There are times where you can see a baby bump - but she is still so tiny. It was great having Liz in town. She lives in GA :( we were born in Hibbing - so my dad took a day and drove with me {he actually drove and I got to sleep} to Hibbing. The Iron Range. Krissy{+Sam}, Renee and I threw together a baby shower in 2 weeks. It was CRAZY. The invites were beautiful{renee} - the decorations were elegant{krissy+sam} and the cake was amazing{thanks Tracy}! It was awesome that the 4 of us were able to put together a shower from 3 totally different places to bless a friend that we all love so much!
We were able to do some meaningful things for Liz and Tessa - since she will be so far away. We played a few games and then took the letters T.E.S.S.A. and wrote out advice for her as she grows to make into a book that Liz and Ryan can read to her. So she'll have a piece of all of us wherever she goes. We also made personalized onesies for her {my boyfriend helped me sew felt pieces onto some of them until the wee hours of the morning}. It was a really fun meaningful shower! We love you Liz
*disclaimer* I wasn't planning on blogging these photos I would have taken more - but here are a few while I had my camera out.
Liz is a beautiful GLOWING mama to be! We are so excited for her!
We love you baby Tessa and can't wait to meet you!
Love.S
What a fantastic way for her far, far away "auntie" to experience a wonderful day. I am only sorry that I am so far away and won't be able to meet my "Great" neice as soon as I would like. Thanks for posting this link...
