Greensboro Baby Shower

Kate graciously hosted a hometown baby shower for me in Greensboro. She made these adorable invitations, and they were only the beginning of her adorably creative ideas...

Check out these flower balloons to welcome guests. I love my lil' sis!

Mom made this super cute corsage for me out of fabric yo-yo's and a sweet little vase.



Everything was just as pink and pretty as could be!

Kate, Mom, and Nana made this amazing food display...

and my favorite was the watermelon fruit salad baby carriage. :)

Nana represented the great-grandmothers. We missed Aaron's grandmother, who was recovering from surgery and was unable to make it. Fortunately, she's back home and doing well now.

I love cheesy shower games, and Kate didn't disappoint!

We enjoyed deliciously frozen lemon crunch yogurt for dessert. So light and refreshing!

I'm so thankful for all of the wonderful gifts. And my mom nearly had me in tears when she surprised me with a box of mine and Kate's old baby dresses she'd washed and ironed. Including the dresses we both wore home from the hospital. Now, Meredith will get to wear one of them home, too!

It was great to see my college roommate, Sandee...

And my cousins English and Joanna who drove in from Boone and Charlotte just to be there.

And last but not least, were these fabulously fun cake pops for favors! Aren't they wonderful?!

This little taste-tester found them irresistable!


Thanks so much,Kate,for all of your hard work and planning that went into such a beautiful afternoon. I'm so blessed to have you for a sister!
