Yesterday my good friends Rach and Lucie threw a baby shower for myself and Piper. I got the idea of waiting until the baby was born from my mom, who always had her baby showers after the birth! It's nice because you know what colors to buy and everyone gets to cuddle the baby.
Lucie is Piper's godmother, and she takes her responsibilities in that area very seriously!
Rachie's partner Ben was on hand before the party started, making us sandwiches, helping move furniture, and...charming Piper's socks off! Look at her flirting with him.
The food was amazing, and there was so much of it!
The spread was gorgeous. I was so grateful that Rachie's mum Kathy let us use her beautiful house while she is away in South America visiting my brother-in-law and his wife! (PS That is how I know Rachie. She's my sister-in-law's sister.)
My favorite touch was the bunting - Puffin postcards from a box I impulse-bought over a year ago!
It was beautiful, and it was amazing to catch up with all my uni friends. Piper made a new friend too!
Mr Floyd Stripes, Esq. Mr Stripes fascinated her. He has already found pride of place at home on the coffee table, ready at a moment's notice.
It really was a beautiful day. Thank you so much Rach and Lucie for organizing it, and to everyone who turned up!
