Sprinkle!

I have amazing friends. Seriously. I am incredibly blessed by the people God has put in my life! As I've said a million times, being so far from family makes your friends like family. And that is so true. For example.

My girlfriends up here decided that Miss Leah needed a celebration. Obviously, since this is Baby #2 (and especially since it is a girl) we didn't need a huge shower like we had last time. But they decided that we should have a "sprinkle" anyway. We had a cute get-together on the 8th. It was so girly and fun - our last shower was Jack and Jill, but this was all about the girls. Tea, goodies, loads of pink everywhere, and a whole lot of fun. :)

Kel has a post about it too (including a very awkward picture of me - thanks friend :)), but here's the highlights from my camera:

The spread (of course we start with FOOD!) included tea, sweet little appetizers, THE CAKE (courtesy of Kelli - I don't even know what it is actually called, we just call it THE CAKE because it is awesome. It was a huge sacrifice for Kelli to make it - she actually couldn't even eat it since she's dairy-free for the moment), and cute little baby cupcakes:




Meg couldn't make it but she sent some beautiful flowers, which made our house smell divine for a week:

There was a cute little banner for Leah, which apparently involved swiping some bedding fabric right from under my nose while I was working (oh, those elephants are adorable, I swear):


And I didn't get a picture of the sweet little picture frame also made from the fabric, but Kel's post leads off with it so take a peek.

Brea and I (the two preggo ladies at the sprinkle) took a belly-shot picture together. She's due in April and lookin' good:

We got fully stocked for Miss Leah's arrival, and her dresser is now busting at the seams (it was more than a sprinkle, people. It was more like a fire hydrant exploded or something). It was so overwhelming to feel so loved, to know that Leah, like Eden, will be surrounded by people who love her!

And these are the sweet ladies who put it all together. Thanks Connie, Kelli, and Brandy. I love you all more than I can express, and I am so glad that my girls have such great, Godly women to look up to. Thank you for being such a blessing to us.

Oh, how special. I can't tell you how badly I wished I could be there. But I know you felt completely loved and celebrated. You look amazing! :)
