Melanie's Baby Shower!

 We had a fantastic time showering Melanie, who's now only a month or so away from delivering baby Eloise Iris.

This isn't everyone who attended - we didn't think of getting a group photo until some had left. What a great group of family and friends! It was lovely catching up with everyone.
 Melanie working in the wedding industry was an amazing gift for us all - one of her brides provided a Thai feast, a friend tended bar as a gift, and another company provided all the linens and tableware.

Planning began in the summer; we held the party at the HOA clubhouse where Cora's 6th grade party took place. We had a tiki theme, per the guest of honor's request.
We had a table set up for decorating onesies (for a contest) and writing cute or funny sayings on diapers, to entertain tired parents in the middle of the night.
Here's the welcome table, with the sign-in books. Melanie did the flowers, naturally.
 We had a lot of helpers setting up, and later cleaning up. Everything turned out beautiful!


We had silly games! And Melanie and Nick received so many lovely gifts.
Here I am with two of Melanie's dearest friends, Shannon and Mariana, and my mom, of course. Such a successful day! We can't wait to meet you, Ellie!
