Shower for Lisa and Baby Shooglet

Today the girls and I spent the day in Orange County celebrating Lisa and Baby Shooglet (the baby's nickname until it has a real name!). From the second you walked up Kim's front porch, you could tell this was going to be a sugar-filled afternoon. Crafty lollipop plant stands and a lollipop banner saying "It's a Girl" overhead were just the beginning.

As we walked in the front door, this cute table was our 1st stop. "Write a 'sweet' blessing to Lisa and Baby Shooglet". Each piece of paper had a cute foam candy sticker on top. Too cute!

Gifts were piling up in the living room. So much pink!

The tables were sweet as can be. Too different widths of wrapping paper made for the cutest table runner. The centerpieces were vases filled with bulk candy and lollipops. The mason jars each had a straw and a gummy ring to continue the theme. We even got beautifully wrapped candy bars as part of the place setting. Could it be any cuter!!

Burp clothes wrapped up on a stick to look like lollipops-adorable.

Shannon's sister made this spectacular cake. It was green, pink and purple on the inside and delicious.


I think Lisa said "This is so cute!" about 1000 times as she opened her gifts. She was right. From adorable outfits and shoes, bath time fun, a handmade quilt to some baby necessities, everything was so cute. I just couldn't believe how much has changed since I last had a baby. Amazing!

Auntie Lisa gets a tummy rub!
Taylor and Allison were so excited to see Chloe, Bailey and Stella too. We hadn't seen them since Lisa's October Birthday Bash. They had a great time playing on the playset out back and having girly time upstairs. I think they also ate their weight in sugar. I saw them with Airheads, sour licorice, raspberry-filled donuts and pixie sticks and that's just what I saw. I think they were in a sugar coma as they slept on the way home!

Alexis, Lisa and me -I love when we all get together.


We had wonderful weather and a great day celebrating Lisa and Baby Shooglet. We can't wait to meet her and give her lots of love. Just pray Lisa gets the epidural!
