Weekend Recap!

Happy Sunday! This weekend was fabulously full of baby celebrations! 

Sadly, my fearless fiancé has contracted the funk. What is "the funk?" It's something that's kept him on is butt surrounded by tissues most of the weekend. Poor guy. So, Friday night, we stayed in. And on Saturday, I had big intentions of going out later that night with friends, but then it started raining....and well...the couch is just so much more comfy when it's raining. 

Saturday was Beth's shower for her twin boys, Heston and Reaves (seriously, how cute are those names?!) She's not due until late June, but we wanted to celebrate early to give mamma enough time to get her gifts all set up, etc. :) I co-hosted the shower with some fantastic friends and it was so fun b/c I feel like we all brought something to the table...er...cradle...er...you get it. The theme was "Hawk's Nest" (matching their last name-Hawkins) and it turned out so adorable! I'm mad at myself for not getting more photos of the decor and food. A couple girls had really awesome cameras so I let them capture the day and figure I'll just steal pics later. :) Kristy made some fabulous cupcakes that had little nests/eggs on them. Freaking.adorable.

Clockwise: 1. The cute invite and some "nest" decor. 2. Beth and other adorable mamma-to-be, Ashley. 3. Banner that Ashley helped me make! 4. Beth's adorable birdie shoes, matching the shower theme. How cute is she, right?! 5. The glowing mom and me. 6. The hostesses and our beautiful friend, Beth. :)
It was a pretty great afternoon...not gonna lie. Love this girl so much and so happy to we got to spoil her a little for the day. :) 

Sunday was another friend, Lori's, baby shower for her little one also due to arrive in June! The hostesses made the event super cute, with a "Whooo's having a baby" theme and owls everywhere. :) Lori is a fellow Chi O alum (from S. Carolina) so we have an extra appreciation for each other's love for owls...(and think it's totally unfair that there weren't any cute owls when we were in college, but whatever).  The hostesses made some awesome peach drink that us non-expecting ladies could add champagne to... It puts mimosas to shame, people. Need.the.recipe.
Clockwise: 1. Some good friends from work with the mamma-to-be! 2. Adorable "K" decor. 3. Lori opening some of her gifts! 4. Shower theme was "Whooo's having a baby. Check out the adorable owl labels on everything! 5. Mamma and gifts for baby K. 6. They're not finding out the gender, so shower guests got to choose bow tie or hair bow and pin them to the onesies. (I totally picked hair bow). 
A great weekend with fabulous reasons to celebrate. :) Tonight, Revenge is back on (wahoo!), Walking Dead is recording (double wahoo!) and I made a pretty good dinner that wasn't just edible, but was actually good (shouting from rooftops...haha). :)

Monday is once again sneaking up too soon...but I hope you all had a great weekend to help make up for the case of the Mondays arriving tomorrow.
