Baby Chloe's Shower!

Last Sunday, Ashley, Lindsay, Emmalie, and Chelsea threw me a "sprinkle" at Frost Bake Shoppe.  It was such a fun place for the occasion.  I love cupcakes (and let's be honest, all sweets) so it was perfect!  They obviously know me well!

 

OMG- this is my dream.  I loved having mini-cupcakes so I could try a little bit of everything.  And I definitely did!

 

The drinks- this shower sparked a newfound obsession with Starbucks Frappucinos.  Maybe it's because I haven't really had coffee much since getting pregnant but I could drink about 10 in a day if I let myself!

Such a cute banner!  I think I may have a cupcake themed 1st birthday party just so that I can use it again.  And so we can eat cupcakes :)  I may be getting ahead of myself just a tad!

Avery has been getting SO excited about Chloe coming so I decided that it would be special for her to be there.  She was a little confused- I think she thought that Chloe would actually be at Frost somehow but she eventually figured it out!

 



In cookie heaven!

The shower was relatively small...just close friends and family, and I really enjoyed it that way.  It was such a relaxed atmosphere, and I loved having all my favorite ladies in the same room.  It was an absolutely perfect way to celebrate Chloe's upcoming arrival!

 



The group!

She thought it was so cool to have pink lemonade AND a pink straw.

My mom got Ave a little doll and an outift that included a little diaper.  She immediately wanted it opened, named it Chloe, and started caring for her.  She is very passionate about her dolls!

We are now very set with diapers and wipes of all sizes plus a few little necessities and gear that we needed.  It is starting to feel real now that this girl is coming soon!

 

After we had eaten our fill of sweets and opened gifts, I took lots of pics with everyone.

Me and Tiff- I love that we are pregnant at the same time!  I can't wait for Chloe and Logan to grow up together!

All the pregnant ladies at the shower.  I think God knows that I need emotional support while pregnant because I have been so blessed with great friends that are also pregnant with both Chloe and with Ave.  It is so wonderful to have people nearby that know exactly what you are feeling and going through.  I'm so thankful for all these ladies and their little ones!

The hostesses!  They did such a great job, and I don't know what I would do without their friendships!

I am overwhelmed by how many people already love and care so much about Chloe.  There was a time that I really didn't know if I would be where I am right now, and it just makes days like this even sweeter!  I am so excited to hold this little one in my arms and see her face.  I can't believe she will be here soon, and we will be a family of four!
