Baby Shower

* A HUGE THANK YOU TO SUZANNE DAVIS & CHRISSY HANSEN FOR THROWING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SHOWER!! *

* PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY THE TALENTED CHRISSY!! LOVE YOU GIRLS! *
Behold, this amazing spread... the food was DIVINE! Restaurant-style salads (these girls knew my cravings...) and ORANGE BROWNIES, courtesy of Liz Silverthorne. It was delish.

Let me just tell you about Kelly Smallwood's pasta salad (made by Chrissy)... This is the 2nd baby shower where this incredible salad has made it's appearance (and therefore quick disappearance). The secret is the feta cheese, avocadoes, precisely cut spinach, and the Romano Cheese dressing... which, is very hard to come by in rural places like Idaho (trust me, I've gone crazy in search of it when a craving for this salad arose).

This is what I love about showers... friends all together in one place, enjoying the company and yummy food.

Believe it or not, all 4 of these girls are pregnant... ALL due the same month! Can't wait for all your showers!!!

Sarah got very spoiled!

So, I don't know what is wrong with me, but my facial expressions were crazy hilarious that night! I do know that more often than not, when Chrissy snapped the picture, I was saying something like "OOOHH, how cute!" Or "I loooove it" but the result was a look of painful gas on my face!!! (I guess I am pregnant, haha) So, I've really only attached the good ones... but I know you are dying to see the "gasy ones" like my parents who think I am so dramatic and laughed until there are tears when they saw these... So, I'll attach a few at the end...

That dress for Sarah is SO darling, thank you KARA! I am obsessed with it and can't wait for Sarah to wear it!
One of my lovely hostesses.... The beautiful and very talented Chrissy Hansen, my VT companion and I love her dearly. Thank you so much, my sweet friend.

And, the wonderful hostess - my sweet Suzanne. Thank you so much for hosting, planning, throwing, & organizing such a great and beautiful shower! It was such a fun night, I loved every moment. Love you, girl!
