Last weekend we,(my friend Nat and I), had a baby shower for my our friend who has already had her little love in this world for quite some time now. Her whole story, updates, and pictures of little Scarlette are here
http://kaylaaimee.typepad.com/, many of you know it well already. Here are some pictures of the shower but keep in mind I do not own a schmancy camera! It captures moments and gets the job done but I do wish for occasions such as a baby shower I had a camera that gave me some more eye candy to look at:) Until then I will rely on good sunlit rooms and the editing option in iphoto. We went with a little vintage story book theme-ish-esque thing...
So those are it...None of Kayla with Nat or me! Kayla's sister in law did take some with a nice camera once people arrived so she will have some better ones at least! But it was such a great time; a time where we could celebrate more than 'a baby on the way' kind of shower. We were celebrating a life that may not be "100%" yet,(depending on the way you look at it), or a baby that may not be "home" safe and sound with her mama & dad yet but none the less, we were celebrating. Because Scarlette,(aka spaghetti), is a beautiful girl with an amazingly beautiful mother. Jeff,(the doting dad), is pretty great himself. I have been in love, if you will:), with this girl, Kayla, for about 14 years. That is almost Half of my life people! I am 'in love' with what crazy depths this relationship has reached in my world and we have God to thank for it all. We don't take it lightly. And now I get to be in love with her family. Do I even know how awesome this is?! Look out Spaghetti, because I may kiss your face off when I get to hold you.
And speaking of Kayla, I know she informed her blog peeps of my 'trying out the blog thing' and I wanted to say thank you for your kindness and hello's:) It was really nice to 'hear' from people:) And Thanks for excusing this place while it's under construction and development-hehe.
Looks like fun! Great job with the decorations - my kind of party decor. Hug Kayla for us and tell her to hug you for us. It's great to know she's supported IRL with such good friends!
ReplyDeleteHi friend! Great blog!! THe shower looked like fun and i LOVED seeing the oreo surprise there! do you know that i totally hijacked your recipe and make it for everyone here in jersey? they love it of course. it's fantastic. :)
ReplyDeletePopped over here from KA's blog ... what a lovely blog of your *own* and what a lovely shower, too. SO glad KA and Scarlette get to have one! It looks as if it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHello Tiffani! Good luck on your blog. Anybody who loves Kayla and is helping to support her through this difficult time is A#1 in my book. The shower looked wonderful. I am sure it was very much appreciated! I love antiques and the "theme" was a really cute idea. HUGS to you and yours and KA and Scarlette. Hoping she is home soon so you can kiss her face off. LOL
ReplyDeletehi tiffani! coming here from KA's blog. what a wonderful shower for KA~what a beautiful theme. so glad she has you in her life for love and support. *hugs* steph :)
ReplyDeleteKayla sent me, too, and I'm glad she did. Your blog is gorgeous--love your header and background "paper." I had to laugh when you said you didn't have a "schmancy" camera. What a great way to put it. I don't have a schmancy camera, either, but the truth is, I probably wouldn't put the time into learning how to use one if I had it, so I'm better off with a "regular-people" model!
