This weekend I was in the home state to celebrate my soon-to-be niece (aka my best friend's baby) and her wonderful parents. It was great to stay get to stay at Momma's house and spend some time with her as well.
To kick off the weekend, Momma and I went shopping. It was glorious. I picked up two pairs of jeans, a pair of linen pants, a pair of dress pants, two dresses, and a bunch of tops. Plus I got a few pairs of shoes-- two are wedge-pumps and an awesome pair of heels. This is huge because I've had two reconstructive ankle surgeries, so it's really difficult to find heels that I can walk in, provide enough support, and don't cause immense pain/swelling in my ankle. But these are amazing.
Next up, manis and pedis. A new nail salon opened up down the street from my mom and all services are 20% off for the month. I got my first ever gel manicure. And I LOVE the color.
Today was the shower for Clo, Seb, and their baby (my niece). This little girl is going to be so spoiled and lucky. In a little less than two months, I will get to hold my sweet little girl and love on her in person- then I can love on her for the rest of my life. Here's quite possibly one of my favorite pictures of Clo and I. Isn't she just glowing? And I look deceptively stunning. Seb definitely found my good side.
Clo has this stuffed Minnie Mouse that she has had since, like, forever. So naturally, when we found out the baby was a girl, it was necessary for her baby shower to be Minnie themed.
Mama PK made the ballon Minnie Mouse in the left corner above. Clo's cousin, sister, and sister-in-law worked hard and put together a fabulous shower. The details were amazing and perfect.
These cupcakes looked amazing and tasted even better.
And in case you didn't get a good look at them on the cupcake stand, here they are up close. Totes Adorbs. Clo's SIL made sugar scrub and decorated loofas. I'm too lazy to get up now and take a picture, but they are so cute and equipped with labels "From our shower to yours." I can't wait to try out the scrub.
Now I'm home with Sel and the burritos with a serious food coma. So much for tracking until Tuesday. Somebody fell off the wagon hard. Oh well. I'll do better next time. When the pizza and breadsticks are gone. Well I've got some cross-stitching to do and some Doctor Who to watch. And I'm going to think sweet thoughts about my future niece that's cooking in her mama's belly.
