her sweet glow...

She has this indescribable glow about her. The kind of glow that makes anyone in her presence feel love and sweetness. She speaks softly about Leia Marie. Her smile lights up a room when anyone mentions that adorable little baby bump she is rocking. And, she gets so excited at the thought of dressing her baby girl in cute pink outfits and baby crocs. She laughs outloud when people speak of her belly button. And, when I think about it, I know she is going to be one fabulous mama. And, he, well he buckles her sandals, holds her hand, loves her with every ounce of his heart and speaks ever so lovingly of the two girls who make his life complete.

To celebrate that sweet mama-to-be glow, a jungle-themed baby shower with a hint of pink of course...





Family storytime and laughs.



See that invitation on the right? That is a Shefali Lindsey production. And, my first take at stationary design. I kind of loved it!



Her ever so delicious looking cake...



A little Aunt Kathy touch.



Look at all those baby goodies!



Can you believe Zach's grandmother made this for sweet little Leia Marie?!



A little family love. Just missing one Aunt Imy and one Aunt Cindy.



So full of peace and love right before a lovely little rain storm.

the sweetest baby shower gift...

Her glow was as bright and stunning as a meteorite in the sky at night. I am not quite sure if anything else could have made her smile anymore. Except a surprise from her husband after the gift opening, which happened to be my MOST favorite part of the entire shower! I am pretty sure as her aunt brought in the flowers, chocolate covered strawberries drizzled with white chocolate and two cards, every gal in that room was beaming for Kelsey. As she opened up the first card from Jared, she could not help but smile and cry all at once. But, when she opened up the card from soon-to-be born Baby Bentley that her husband ever so kindly wrote, she was on cloud nine. In that moment, I knew that Jared and Kelse were not only going to be phenomenal parents, but they would always remain best friends, soul mates and hubby and wifey. It is one of the many reasons Bryan and I love them and are so moved by their love for one another. They are truly two in a million. Who are perfect for one another!



So cute. And, major props to one of Kelse's besties, Kaitlin, for making those delicious lollipops.



Holy YUM!!!





Bentley is so loved already.



Some of Kelse's good friends and family...



And, then came Jared's surprise for Kelse...





She is just so stinking cute.
