My very good friends here in Celebration decided baby number three needed to have a shower. Since I had gotten rid of all of my "big" baby stuff except our crib set, I agreed because I really needed some items before he gets here.
My friend Caroline suggested we have the shower at a place called "The Barn" www.barnantiques.biz/?section=intro which is a cute place about 15-20 minutes from here that is both a great little lunch place out on a porch and also a fabulous collection of shoppes. If you have never been there you must make it a point to go!
Lots of my friends were there and we had a nice lunch out on the porch, followed by yummy strawberry and vanilla cake that my partner from Mel'Z Cakes, Terri made with the help from my other creative friend Heather. I had seen a picture of this cake a year or two ago and saved it thinking we would maybe make it for someone else! Little did I know it would someday be a cake for my own shower!! I think it turnd out so cute?!! I just loved it! After that I opened the many packages that everyone brought and was blown away by all of the nice things I got. A few of us then went shopping together in all of the shops and had a great time running into each other and buying some fun stuff too!
I was so touched with everyone being there for me and with all of the kind words and generosity that I was a cryin' fool that day! I was really struck with the upcoming reality of a third Pifer baby and what good friends I have that it was a really emotional day for me. My two best girlfriends Susan & Erica from Pennsylvania even flew in especially for the event. I am so very blessed!
Special thanks to Nancy, Heather, Terri, Caroline, Ashley, Kathy and Meg for putting the event together and also a big thank you to Jeff and the boys for making sure there were pretty flowers and beautifully wrapped packages there for me too. I love you all, thank you for such a memorable day!
