My dear little apple pie,
Something you will learn about your mommy when you grow up is that it sometimes takes me a little longer to get something done than other people. Don't get me wrong, when I do something I do it fast, and I am a very quick learner, all traits I hope to pass on to you...it's just, I'm a procrastinator, and so is your father! That is a trait we hope to teach OUT of you. So, as promised almost a month ago...here are pictures from the beautiful Southern Style Baby Shower your Gramma and Aunty Jane threw for you.
The party started in the afternoon and by the time I showed up the house was already filled with so many awesome ladies and such a good vibe, and ALL the women were wearing their hats. Like a real southern garden party. Aunty Jane and her bff Paige got up early to decorate and organize and cook, cook, cook. Watching the two of them together is like watching a perfectly matched pair of figure skaters. They've been friends forever and you can tell. Baby girl, it is really important to maintain friendships with the women in your life. There is nothing more magical than the ease and happiness a best friend can bring you. Anyhow!!! Gramma Rita made deviled eggs for the first time ever!?!? Yumtastic. I hope they make appearances at ALL the Ireland events from here on out. Aunty Jane pulled together some unreal pimento cheese sandwiches, which were the catalyst for the southern theme. And from what I hear the stuffed mushrooms were perfection. Too bad I missed out...maybe she'll make me some when she comes to meet you? hint, hint, wink, wink. The crowd was a mix of old Ireland friends, old Flores friends, and some family. Everyone looked beautiful in their hats, and everyone was so sweet. I just felt so overwhelmingly loved...I really can't reiterate enough how incredible your support system already is. Between my side of the family and the huge group of friends the Irelands have you will never be without. And that is something to always be grateful for.
Baby girl, we'll see you soon.
xoxo
