Sprinkled with Love // Allie Maxine

Momma with Big Sister Elliot
Exactly three weeks after we sprinkled her and her momma, Megan, with love, Miss Allie Maxine Johnson was born. Big Sister Elliot was the guest of Honor of course!

At the time, Allie didn't officially have a name yet and we weren't quite sure when she might arrive, but we had a wonderful afternoon in her honor. Here are some of the pictures from the sprinkle Trina, Josey and I hosted. Thank you to all of Megan's friends and family who joined us for the celebration.

Guess if it is Mommy or Daddy Game

Scout's Sip & See

My wonderful girlfriends Trina & Megan did it again! They planned the most adorable little shower for us but this time guests got to get in some baby snuggles. They hosted a little meet and greet about three weeks after Scout's arrival at our house complete with yummy desserts (little mini pies even), champagne and a cute little game all about our new little man. We are so blessed to have such amazing friends in our life, we are truly thankful! Scout is sure lucky to have so many sweet ladies who wanted to come snuggle him!

Elliot's Baby Shower: Oh! The Places She'll Go!

The Beautiful Mother-to-be

My best friend Megan is having a baby!!! Ah! It is still is so exciting to say. It was my pleasure to be able to plan & co-host a baby shower for her and her soon to arrive daughter, Elliot Ann, this past weekend with the help of 4 other wonderful ladies, Amanda, Trina, Ashley & Josey. We came up with the theme "Welcome to the World, Oh! The Places She'll Go!" based on Megan's nursery decor of old maps/globes.  We love the Dr. Seuss book so thought it tied in nicely and would make a great Guest Book at the shower for her guests to leave messages for Elliot. The menu was based on popular food items from different countries which we marked with their flags (that was a fun brainstorming session). The decor was DIY projects made from Atlases and maps and the "take-home" was home-made fortune cookies with thank you notes inside. We had so much fun at our craft nights prepping prior to the shower. We had the guests write notes on diapers for Megan & Tim to have when they are on late-night diaper duty. Megan read them aloud, which was hilarious! We also played the "clothespin game", where each guest had 3 clothes pins and if they were caught saying the word "cute" at all during the shower, they had to give one up. The person with the most clothespins at the end won (Congrats to Darlene, nice work!). It was so much harder than we thought to not say that word!

Only 9 short weeks until Elliot arrives and I think she is well prepared with all the amazing items she received. Thank you everyone for coming and supporting Megan & Tim on this spectacular journey into parenthood. Special thanks to Trina for volunteering to have the shower at her new home!
