Nicole's Baby Shower

One of my best friends from high school, Nicole, was honored at her first baby shower yesterday. It was intended to be a joint shower for her and another friend, Julie. Unfortunately, Julie was in the hospital with kidney stones (yuck).

The shower was held outside, and the weather could not have been more perfect for the occasion. The hostesses did a beautiful job with decorations, food, and games. I know that Nicole must have felt very special. And boy, did she and her little bundle make out like bandits. Sawyer Elizabeth has everything from little dresses and shoes to a new pack-and-play.

For those of you who do not know Nicole, this day was a long time coming. Nicole and her husband, Ron, struggled to get pregnant for well over two and a half years. Nicole has watched as friend after friend has welcomed a baby into the world, so it was wonderful to see Nicole have her day to shine as the mommy-to-be! Sawyer is an answered prayer for her mommy and daddy as well as for all those who love them. Congratulations Nicole!!!! I love you and Sawyer!
