Kacey's Baby Shower

Two weekends ago I was able to help host a shower for my buddy Kacey Warren. She is expecting her first baby, a little girl named Lila. We did an "L" themed shower in honor of Lila. I'm just thankful that we had power considering all the people that still did not have power the day we hosted the shower.

L in the wreath. Invite from Envied Invites with the L, the baby book with an L, and an L frame that Kaki made.


L's hanging from the kitchen chandelier. Baby photos of Kacey & Josh with her monogram on a Roundtop chalkboard.


Instead of the age old punch we opted to serve Izzys, which may have turned the tide for what I start serving at showers. We also had water for those not willing to take the Izzy plunge with raspberries & mint.

The table. The cupcakes with an L fondant circle made by Annesa, another hostess and long time buddy of Kacey.
Clothes line with Amy Butler fabrics with products from Etsy. Flowers with L's on the piano. The stash that Kacey got - so fun to have a girl!




The four Purdy girls: Angie, Kacey, Nancy, & Caryn
Caryn, Tracy, Wendi, & Shannon
Josh's aunt gave a very generous gift of a pink & gray Juicy Couture diaper bag. After all of closed our gaping mouths at the lovely gift, Nancy tried it on with her matching attire.
The hostesses with our gifts: Annesa & Lindsey (fellow Midway, Class of '00 alums), Kacey, Kaki, & myself
The whole party, minus the lovely photographer.


Can't wait to meet this precious baby at the beginning of December! Kacey has always been like a younger sister to me, and I am so thankful to be a part of this awesome next step in their lives! OK, enough Hallmark cheesiness...
