Showering Baby Parker

One of my good friends hosted a baby shower in honor of Parker over the weekend, and it was so much fun!  She claims it was the first baby shower she ever hosted, but she could've fooled me.  It was a perfect afternoon, and I feel extremely blessed to have such thoughtful, loving people in my life. 

There was cute decor and yummy food, even a onesie painting station!

Naturally, I remained close to the food...

There were lots of momma friends, baby (toddler) friends, and family!

With Auntie and Grammy
With Great Grandma and Grandma Shelton

There was some biting and toy stealing (by Lucy), with fleeting moments of peaceful interaction. 


There were (so, soooo many) presents!


Lulu was quite the little helper!

And there was one special gal that made it all possible...



It's safe to say that Parker's wardrobe is well stocked after this beautiful shower.  Thank you to everyone who came or sent a gift, there are no words to describe the incredible amount of love we felt.

My cookies!  (Shameless plug?  You betcha.)

Showering Baby Shelton

Last Sunday, my mom and sister threw me the cutest baby shower.  They did such a beautiful job, and I couldn't be more grateful for all of their hard work.  It was so great to spend the afternoon with friends and family, and celebrate our sweet baby, Lucy.

Mama Bear and Fallon planned and planned for over a month.  They chose the most adorable gender neutral theme: baby feet!  And they prepared the most amazing Italian-inspired lunch buffet; let the record show, if Russo women do one thing right, its cook (and bake)!  My mother-in-law and sister-in-law coordinated some very sweet games; it was too funny to see the results of the "How big is the belly?" guessing game.

Pictures are limited, as we forgot to grab the camera until about halfway through the shower!  And now, for your viewing pleasure:

Opening presents!  Hehehe

The most DELICIOUS, and beautiful, cake 

Annnnd my lone contribution to the big event, totally adorable favors

It was an absolutely beautiful day!  We are so very lucky to have such thoughtful and generous family and friends.  Baby Lucy is thoroughly spoiled, and she hasn't even made her debut yet!  Her nursery is stocked and just about ready for her arrival, and its all thanks to our amazing family and friends.  A big thanks to everyone, we couldn't be more grateful!!!
