Laura's Baby Shower

Laura is one of my best friends here in Austin, and I was so happy and excited to help throw a baby shower for her as she is getting ready for the arrival of her baby girl, McKenna who is due to arrive at the end of June. Taryn, Kristen, Amanda and myself were the hostesses and the party was at my house. I love throwing these get togethers with my girlfriends...we always have so much fun doing it together! We had lots of yummy food, a tasty cake from my cake gal, Brigitte (http://www.cakeslice.com/) and the sangria was a hit too. (Laura don't worry, we will just have to make you a batch of sangria after Miss McKenna comes!) Laura and McKenna were showered with many wonderful gifts, including some really special homemade presents from her mom and a couple girlfriends. Good job ladies....your handiwork is very impressive! I stole a great idea that Laura had for her friend's recent baby shower...instead of people bringing a greeting card with their gift, we asked them to bring a small book to help start up McKenna's library...and people just wrote a little note inside the book. Laura, we are all so happy for you and John and can't wait to meet your little girl soon enough....you guys are going to be wonderful parents!
