a baby shower for ellie...

My best friend had her baby a few days ago! She is the most precious little baby, and looks just like her big brother, Mason, when he was born! Remember when I threw his shower almost four years ago? Time is moving at warp speed!

We had her shower four weeks ago, and it was a lovely affair! We kept it small and simple. I am thrilled with the results!

Here's some pix from the day:

Simple seating for casual dining

The momma-to-be's backyard was the perfect venue

So much yummy food on bright orange platters

Sweet simple cake
