This past weekend, my mom flew in on Saturday night. We had a great time catching up, showing her the baby’s room and feeling for baby kicks. Sunday, we didn’t really have plans so we went for a 4 mile walk with my awesome running group. I think my mom was inspired because she ran a little bit too! I ran for about 5 minutes and then was too out of breath to go any further (ha!) Then we sipped tea on our rooftop patio and chatted about babies, parenting and all that comes with it. When lunch time rolled around, Irving suggested we go out. I was unsure of our destination, but we ended up at my friend Janet’s house.

When I was walking up, I knew something was going on, but I was not prepared to see so many of my friends and family waiting to surprise me.

I had to take a minute to take it all in, it was a little emotional seeing everyone! Especially when I realized Irving’s mom had flown down to attend. And his Sister and wife (who I thought had already flown back to Indianapolis!) were there too!!

Everything, everything, everything was amazing. The theme was ‘Tiny Traveler’ and all of the details were just SO adorable! The invitations were tiny suitcases!

How perfect is this!

The cake was a replica of the invitation. A suitcase! (and it tasted heavenly!)

I LOVED the travel theme!!! How perfect!!! I hope to frame those posters because they were just so cool! (All places we’ve been, too!)
 

Even the table cloth was travel themed!!!

It was so great that both my mom and Irving’s mom could be there. A very special treat indeed.

Family Picture!

We played a couple of fun games (including one that involved an embarrassing baby bottle contest) and enjoyed the gorgeous day.

And then came inside for cake and presents. I didn’t want to cut the cake because it was so cute!
(But I got over that real quick when I realized I could eat it after it was cut. Mmmm!)

And then it was time to attack this mountain!

Handmade Burp Cloths from my friend Caitlin! She’s opening an Etsy store soon and I’ll share the details! They were so cool!

We got our mattress and crib set! So exciting!

(Our theme is ‘Willow’ by Kidsline).
