Baby Shower!

Awhile back my friends and I planned a baby shower for another friend, the first in our group to have a baby. I've been so busy sewing Christmas presents (see my Black Friday post) and then celebrating Christmas that I never had a chance to post pictures.

It was a "mocktail" party and featured lots of book themed food paired with actual books for baby. My less Martha-esque friends braved lots of crafting to help pull this off, they claimed that their fingers bled...

And last Thursday, the baby arrived! Ava Nicole was born around 4:30 in the afternoon, and I was lucky enough to hold her two hours later. That baby has lots of "aunties" who love her already!
