Time for Tea

So back to Jennie's shower a few weeks ago...we have had so many baby boys born this past year that we were all excited to have a girly shower and a tea party was a perfect fit!

We were also excited to shower Jennie and Evan...such a special couple!

Jennie and Evan have a little boy named Owen who they never got to meet as he passed away during his delivery just a year ago. Jennie started coming to our Bible study just a few weeks after losing Owen and it's safe to say she has changed all of our lives. She has been such an inspiration this past year as she was so open and honest about grieving the loss of her son. She and Evan were blessed with getting pregnant again just a few months after this tragedy and in just a few short weeks she will deliver a little girl...and we are all covering them in prayer and have faith that they will bring home a healthy baby. So with all of this it was such an honor to be able to shower them with love and gifts.

We had a tea party theme complete with hot tea, fancy sandwiches, scones, fruit salad, and cupcakes! We asked that everyone wear a fun hat and it was great to see all the awesome hats! I didn't have one so I borrowed one of Hannah's and worked some magic on it...spray painted it, added some ribbon and flowers, and voila...a great tea party hat!

We had a great showing and filled up the house with lots of great ladies!

Here's the setup before everyone arrived.

Hannah, the gourmet chef of the group, made the sandwiches and they were incredible!

I made lemon cream cupcakes with lemon buttercream icing...yummy!

We had a money tree for Jennie and Evan to help them get a new stroller!

Here's all the tea and beverages!

We did lots of chatting...

The kids were very good...they shared a little hot dog lunch together!

They also spent lots of time in the playroom!

Riley wanted to be right in the middle of Jennie opening presents..imagine that!

She fell in love with this cute towel and wore it around the rest of the shower!

We all had fun watching Jennie open up super cute clothes...who doesn't love baby girl clothes?

Here's a group shot of all us girls with Jennie!

What a fun day!

We can't wait to meet this little girl and find out her name!
