A rite of passage for a new mom-to-be…a baby shower and this one was a lovely celebration for a little girl, Gia Leigh, that is due to arrive in early June…joining her mom, Gina, and dad, Derek! Of course, there is the usual food, to enjoy while visiting with the other guests, talking to the mom-to-be about how the pregnancy has gone and asking if she’s ready…and there is always a cake or cupcakes…or both! These cupcakes were adorable, a little something for everyone – although they almost looked too good to eat! A game or two and then the guest of honor takes center stage to open her gifts…or should I say, the gifts for the baby…baby Gia, in this case!! A wonderful showing of family and good friends and some very thoughtful, useful and beautiful gifts were received and let me tell you, this little girl is going to be WELL dressed…she got some of the CUTEST clothes…I’m guessing that Gina will need to change her clothes a couple times a day with all of these adorable outfits, hats, socks, booties and more! Oh, and she even got her first bikini…too cute!! The weather was perfect this afternoon and it was a great day to honor this soon to be mom and help her prepare for the newest addition!!
I couldn’t resist sneaking upstairs to see Gia’s room, it’s beautiful and the colors and light in there are just perfect, as their new daughter will be!!
With Gina’s mom, mother in-law and sisters putting on the shower, it seemed fitting that we get a photo of all of them…and the next time they will all be together, it will be to welcome Gia to their families!!
