Season of Sarah

The month of November is a busy one for us! We have our Anniversary, 6 days later is my birthday and because of the timing of when Olivia will arrive it is also the month that we had to have the baby shower.
Our Anniversary was PERFECT. It was the type of day that we both love. We ate a delicious breakfast, watched our wedding DVD, watched 2 movies, ate our wedding cake (which was honestly just as good as when Aunt Lu first made it), went to a movie and ATTEMPTED to go to our favorite Main Street restaurant. We probably should have checked to make sure it was open before we went. Of course it was closed, so we headed to another restaurant instead. It was also good but I think my favorite part was how we just looked at each other and laughed about how funny it was that we'd been waiting to eat at Henry's all day and then it wasn't even opened. We like to laugh.

That same weekend Jennifer, Mom and Viki threw me and Olivia a BEAUTIFUL baby shower. It was so perfect. It was so great to have all of my friends and family celebrating her upcoming arrival. She had so many sweet touches that just really made me feel special. The diaper cake she made was filled with wash cloths, blankets and washcloths. She also made some adorable "lollipops" that were made of washcloths and baby spoons. I appreciated the hardwork she put into it so much. Here are some pictures of that day.



Notice the cute letters attached to the flower vases. Jen is going to attach those to a picture frame for Ms. Olivia's bedroom.



The note on these says "Thanks for celebrating Sarah's Bun in the Oven!" So cute!!!




These are the cupcakes Viki ordered for the shower. They were so delicious!




Jen had these adorable Layette's strung up. The one in the middle is a little ballerina outfit. I can't wait to put her in the other two layettes. She is already pretty in pink!


This diaper cake is so cute! It has flower hairbands, monogrammed diaper covers, burp cloths, lovies and blankets. I don't want to ever take it apart! The lollipops on either side are washcloths with baby spoons. How creative!


Our friend Elizabeth made this diaper wreath for us to hang on the door of the hospital and our house. I love that her name is on it and it is in yellow!


Here are the girls! We are missing our Texas girls! We'll have to take this shot again in December. Hopefully I can still stand upright at that point. :)



Here is Grandma Viki! She is so excited about her first grandchild!



Here is the picture that will most likely go in Olivia's baby book. This way, when she gives me a hard time I can show her how much I sacrificed to bring her into the world.
