My Aunt Judy threw me an amazing mini-shower for Piper. Her best friends and my pseudo "aunties" were there - Jerri, Colleen, and Elizabeth - along with my Mom and her best friend Shirley.
Judy had something up her sleeve the entire time she was planning and kept asking me to arrive 15 minutes later... or another 15 minutes after that... I couldn't quite figure out what was going on, but when I arrived, the surprise was a PAJAMA party!!
We had told her about Piper's name and that her initials would be P.J. - and that Tyler though it would be cute to call her "Jammies" - and Judy ran with it! It was so adorable. She even found matching sock monkey pajamas for me to wear as the honored guest and her as the hostess! LOL! I absolutely loved it.
Here I am arriving to a bunch of ladies in their pajamas!
This is the beautiful and oh-so-girlie table that Judy set.
The food was amazing - virgin Mimosas, egg casserole, cinnamon bread, fruit salad, potatoes, asparagus, and more... nom, nom!
And what shower would be complete without gourmet cupcakes from Sprinkles?!? These were so cute and very tasty!
These are just some of the gifts... all were beautifully wrapped and each one had a pair of "jammies" taped to the front :) Judy thought of EVERY detail!
I even got to wear a crown for the event... Mommy-to-be!
Colleen, Jerri, and Elizabeth - wonderful, loving ladies who helped take care of me while I was in college at ASU and learning the ways of the world! I admire them greatly!
Matching Jammies
Mom and Shirley - more women I look up to and admire more than they know!
Three generations - almost...
This l'il guy is TOO CUTE! He's a "Barrel of Monkeys" monkey :)
I also loved these precious monkey bookends mom got us - they are perfect for the nursery.
Mom has also been crazy busy knitting!
This is a precious sleep sack and matching cap... a bunting for cold weather... I can't wait to see tiny Piper in this little bundle of sweetness.
Another one of mom's creations - a SOFT knitted blanket and matching cap in the perfect shade of pink - I just love this one :) This is the one I think Piper will drag around the house and call her "blankie".
And seriously, this was an amazing haul for just one little girl at a shower with just 7 people. There were some gifts sent from other family members far and away, but WOW - just WOW! Thank you Judy, Mom, Shirley, Jerri, Colleen, Elizabeth, Auntie Karen, and Grandma (and all your male counterparts!) for the amazing LOOT!
We got so many cute outfits, tons of safety gear, our carseat/stroller/play yard combo, feeding supplies, a play mat, diapers and wipes, bath time necessities, and MUCH MORE!
Thank you notes are on their way - xoxoxo!
