A SWEET friend

My dear friend Karen is about to birth her THIRD child. (Eek!) She went on and on about how she didn't want any kind of a big deal or anything, and I agree that while a big shower inviting everyone you know, probably isn't the most appropriate for the third child, we wanted to celebrate her and this sweet baby boy, who is due at the end of February.

I've seen so many Sweet Shoppe things on Pinterest, and Karen is a lover of all things sweet, so this seemed perfect. With the help of THIS BLOG POST (seriously, go check it out. Incredible!), Marlee, Sarah & I gave it our best. As an aside, poor Sarah. We asked her to make a banner, and she totally stepped up! Huge thanks to her AND Marlee. Those girls ROCK.

I'll stop talking, because who cares? :) I'll let the pictures tell the story.

You girls DO rock!!! I feel bad I didn't get a picture of Sarah's banner. But never fear: it's going to be hung right above the crib so I'll make sure to get good pics when/if we ever get the nursery put together.

I am so grateful to you girls for all the work you put in. It was so dang adorable... all of it!

Cute baby shower! I had a sweet shoppe for Calvin and I loved it. I think all babies deserve a special party (shower). Who cares if it's a third child, another boy/girl, etc. It's all exciting!!

You need to write a book on how to do adorable parties... and be adorable at life.
