{Ashley's Baby Shower}

{4.17.12}

Hosted by Megan Crawford & Giny Dial

I had the privilege to host yet another "Shocco" baby shower at my house. In the past 15 months, we have had 9 pregnancies at the place where I work...myself included! Shocco is booming with babies & it seems like we have another baby shower every couple months.

This time it was for my friend, Ashley Bobo. She & her husband, Brandon are expecting their first little one. A baby girl

{Karlie Addison}

is scheduled to arrive sometime next month.

My good friend Giny & I got together & made the plans for this shower. We also had a ton of help from our friends...Emily Powell who went shopping with me & helped me get set up the actual day of the shower (in between our babies crying, needing fed, put down for naps, injuries...yes you read right..she was a huge help even if she went home with bruises! it brought a new meaning to "blood, sweat & tears" but we made it!! haha)

Debbie Butler made the amazing & delicious cake, complete with matching colors for the shower & even these CUTE pacifier mints that everyone just loved!

Darlo Hartdegen, Kathy Ryan, Lauren Cowart, Giny Dial, & myself also completed the menu & brought all the food. It was all delicious & we had plenty!

It is always so fun when a new baby is on its way, but celebrating the new family with the showering of gifts during a baby shower is a special time where everyone can be involved. Since Ashley is due in May, I decided to use the phrase

{April Showers bring May flowers}

as our theme.

Here are SEVERAL pictures of the evening...we can't wait to meet little Karlie in just a few more weeks!
