It. was. WONDERFUL!!!


The shower truly did turn out so wonderful!! The weather was absolutely perfect, mid 60's, sunny and cool. I'm so very thankful for each and every friend and family member that took the time out of their busy schedule to bless our sweet baby Clara, Emily and Brent.....
and you can see by Emily's beautiful beaming face that she had the best time ever!!!

How in the world can you be in love with a tiny little being that you've never met? I don't really know, but I am ~

Enjoy the photos sweet friends....and thank you so very much for each and every comment you've left cheering me on, this shower was such a joy to give ~




















Wishing you a very happy, blessed and relaxed Sunday sweet friends ~

xxoo, Dawn

Dawn,
Everything is so beautiful, and looks like a party from out of a magazine!

You can tell she is having a wonderful time, and it will be the memory of a lifetime.

Your Daughter is beautiful and she is glowing. The party was done with love and it shows. Lovely.
How do you love the little baby Clara before you have met? She is yours, you already know her and love her because you are watching her grow within your own Daughter.
It is the gift of family, it is the affair of our hearts...you are her Grandmother, her teacher, her friend. I know this feeling, I have 6 Grandchildren and they are all perfectly mine.
kiss the belly!

Dearest Dawn,
What a fabulous baby shower. You have worked so hard and with so much love going in to everything you have made, co-ordinated so beautifully and prepared. Your attention to detail,as always, is amazing. It all looks fit for a princess. How happy Emily looks and how lucky she is to have you as a scrummy Mum-in-Law and such a truly supportive family too. You are truly an angel of the highest order.
Hope you have some you time to relax a little.
Warmest best wishes to you and the family my dear friend.
