a trip to see jocelyn!
shower01b
i just returned from a trip to colorado springs to visit jocelyn. she is pregnant with her second baby (a boy!) so regan and i worked together to throw her a baby shower to celebrate.

as soon as i flew into coloraaaaahhhhhdo, i got to work on the shower. for the desserts, i was in charge of lemon tea cakes and ruffle cupcakes.

we decided to go with a clean, springtime look for the shower using succulents as the main decoration. i really loved how it turned out. regan made this beautiful sign for baby smith. i kind of wanted to steal it.

regan and kera (i feel so lucky to have met such sweet girls through jocelyn!)  at the shower, we had the ladies work on a mini faux chenille blanket for the baby.

i surprised jocelyn with a baby circle quilt.

the dessert table. cheesecake bites. lemon bars. cake pops. chocolate chip cookies. cupcakes. lemon tea cakes. and a butter cake with chocolate frosting. all very yummy.

jocelyn loves citrus treats, so we had the ladies take home a little bag of lemon heads as favors.

i had such a wonderful time playing with these two girls. we had super delicious food (chick-fil-a!) and i did some major shopping damage. who could ask for more?

it is QUITE a shame that i dont get to live near jocelyn. i whine about it all the time. but at least we see each other often. and when we do....... we have a TLC-watching-baking-with-jewelry-on-stay-in-the-car-while-i-go-in-the-grocery-store-get-all-dressed-up-just-to-have-a-hick-tell-you-that-you-look-tired kind of time. yee haw.

please focus on us in the above picture. and not on the situation in the background.
