This Sunday, August 2nd I was showered with love. My family and friends came together to celebrate Allie, who will be gracing us with her presence sometime in the next few weeks.
The day was absolutely perfect. My mom, step-mom, mother in-law, twin sister, and step-sister did an incredible job organizing everything. It was the best party and I’m so thankful for everyone who made the day so special for me.
It all started with this invitation my Mom sent six weeks ago. I loved the colors and cute little elephant which became our theme for the party.
The shower was held at the Farmhouse Restaurant in Evanston and our room couldn’t have been cuter.
I loved the guest book my twin sister surprised me with. All of the guests put their finger prints on it to make the leaves on the tree. I can’t wait to hang it in the nursery.
My step-sister Whitney was in charge of the favors and games. The guests played the Price Is Right, and present bingo. Aren’t the favors adorable?
My Mom choose an amazing brunch buffet and everyone raved about the food. I don’t think anyone left hungry!
My mother in-law made the most beautiful diaper cake. I love it so much I think I’m going to keep it in the nursery as a decoration instead of using the diapers.
And look at how cute the cake was!! I love the little baby and blanket on top. π
I didn’t take enough pictures (I’m hoping my Mom will send me a few of hers), but here are a few group shots.
Presents! Allie and I were definitely spoiled.
Tony, Allie, and I felt so loved. The entire day meant so much to me!
That cake is adorable and you looked so cute!

What a perfect day. I had no idea you were a twin. I have a fraternal twin brother myself.

Cool! We are fraternal twins too.
What a super cute baby shower! I love the idea of having everyone leave a fingerprint on the tree – I would definitely hang that book in the nursery for keepsake. How special! The diaper cake was really colorful and the cake itself looked delish! You were definitely showered with love, as you should be! Cheers to only a few more weeks!!! π
