Caleb Parties Alone

Caleb attended his first birthday party without Noah. I was afraid that they would be so sad to be apart, but they both handled it very well! Caleb had a blast at the party & Noah loved painting at home with Mama!

My Cousin's Baby Shower

My cousin Christopher and his fiancé Danielle are expecting their first child. This was their Lion King themed shower for baby James.

The Mommy & Daddy To Be

-------------------------------------

Christopher & Danielle 

enjoying their shower for Baby James :)

The Decorations

----------------------

Loved all the hanging and wall decorations. 

They really set the theme, and added warmth with all the soft colors.

Don't you just love these favor bags? They were filled with a votive 

Yankee candle that smell amazing.

The balloons were adorable. Simba was just too cute hanging out at the shower!

The Goodies

-----------------

Lion King inspired cake.

There were two of these cupcake stands adorned with super cute cupcake toppers that were handmade by the Grandma-to-be!

The shower was beautiful. There is nothing like family, and one things for sure James has a family that loves him and can't wait to meet him. He will be showered with affection and will bring joy to everyone he meets!

It's incredible how we can love someone we have never met, 

but it's true indeed...

we LOVE you Baby James!!!
