My good friends Sandy, Erin, Shawn and Amy helped throw me a beautiful shower I will never forget. I had a blast and enjoyed the great food and fun
games.My guest book was the inside cover of "Tales of Beatrix Potter". As I read the stories to Elizabeth, I can also skim over all the people who attended my shower. Everyone
brought
books that they inscribed at the shower, adding to the growing library Elizabeth already has started. My wonderful friends also brought cute pink egg timers as party favors (since my theme was "help us decorate the nest") and mini magnet pictures of Rich and myself at 8 months pregnant. The presents were piled in a crib set in the living room. Sandy had set up the main chair with a parasol over it, since it was a "shower". All these little touches really helped to make the day special.What I will remember most, however, is the laughter and shared stories from all the wonderful women in my life.
As Rich and I begin to define "family" in our own terms, it is wonderful to see how much love little Elizabeth will have surrounding her. She will definitely have many loving Aunties to help share their wisdom and encouragement.
Who knew there were so many shades of pink?
