Amanda's Baby Shower (Baby Asher)

Today, Khloe and I went to our cousin, Amanda's, Baby Shower. It was at Crumpet Tea Room in Pinnacle Hills Shoppes. Before we arrived we had actually gone to the Bentonville Crumpet Tea Room Express (closer to our home) and realized that I goofed on the location, then glanced at the invitation to see that it said the Rogers location... and proceeded to the Rogers location (not realizing the location had moved to Pinnacle Hills - LOL), until I called my mother-in-law, Mary, on the phone and confirmed the location. Nothing like confusion when you are already running a tad bit behind. Yikes!

Amanda's due date is the first of March , so she is weeks away from giving birth to Baby Asher Isaac Foster! This is her second child (and son)... she is such a sweet girl and great mother! Her first son is Miles... and he is such a little cutie (who looks just like mommy Amanda)! I'm sure Baby Asher will look more like his daddy, Matt! Did I mention that Amanda was one of my Bridesmaids' in my wedding years ago?!

As stated before... the Baby Shower was at Crumpet Tea Room. If you have not been there, it is a must go! They have varieties of teas and coffees: flavored iced teas and hot teas... and lots of yummy healthy snacks! Especially their delicious orange rolls... Mmm! I think I might take Khloe there for one of her birthdays when she is older and have an actual tea party with her friends... Oh joy! Can't wait!

Here are some pictures of Amanda and her Baby Shower guests:

Overall the party was great... it was so nice getting to visit with all our friends and family. And, it was so good getting to see the Mother of Honor, Amanda, and her adorable baby belly!

We cannot wait to meet you Baby Asher... Congratulations, Amanda, Matt and Miles!!!

Melissa Parrish's Surprise 30th Birthday Party

Saturday night (1/8), we went to our good friends' (Cody and Christiane Burnett) house for a delayed surprise 30th Birthday Party for our friend, Melissa Parrish! She is such a sweet girl... she is married to Joel Parrish and they have the most adorable (and styling!!) 11 month old baby boy (Greyson).

The party was supposed to be a surprise, but Melissa said she thought something was up when her husband asked her four times what she was wearing (when they were getting ready for what they thought was a quiet dinner with Cody and Christiane). Then, when they arrived the Burnett's little boy, Mason, was peeking out the window as the front room lights turned on and then off. Of course, she suspected something at this point. LOL

Here is Melissa walking in the house to hear "SURPRISE"... with balloons all over the floor in front of the door!





Even though she wasn't really that surprised, she still didn't know who was going to be at the party. She wasn't feeling real well (the cold junk that has been going around), but she still enjoyed seeing everyone! Even though Melissa turned 30, she was still several years younger than everyone there... puppy! ;)

Here are the group of us girls at the party:

Great looking bunch of people, huh?!! They are all so wonderful! We always enjoy all our gatherings with this group of fun people!

We had a good time visiting with everyone! Happy Birthday, Melissa!

Until the next event.... :)
