E’s First {Surprise} Shower

Let me tell you about the sweetest ladies & girls I know. They range from 10-15 & have some pretty big hearts! 2 of these girls have a mama who is beyond incredible & has been planning a little shower for Emma for months! I can’t explain how much of a blessing she is. Always willing to help with anything, so only fitting that she took on the role of corralling 25 young girls to throw me a surprise shower! It was perfect & sweet & just so special!

details
The girls filled a piggy bank for E & made a prayer bracelet! This was my favorite. Each girl put a bead on and said a prayer for my sweet girl! And they made guesses on when she’ll come and how big she will be. Let’s just say some girls got it wrong…I hope!

games
Seriously the cutest games! Some were new to me & they were a ton of fun.

sippy cup game
Let’s play a riddle game & the final four have to drink water from a sippy cup! So fun!

Games 2
I’m hanging onto that string to see just how much bigger I get over the next 7 weeks…which on second thought, I probably don’t want to know.

food
We had a soup bar & it was such a good idea! I sampled everything & might have had seconds, but who’s counting?

Cake
The cake was adorable & delicious! One of my girls grandma’s made it! Of course, I had to take that picture :)

I can’t believe that, by His grace, I am able to lead these girls. They are amazing.

Thank you Laurie for planning and staying up late to put this together. I could never say thank you enough. Mom, thanks for helping in any way Laurie needed. Tree & Rene thanks for being there and showering E with love! Jeannie, thanks for making a soup!

Girls….THANK YOU for spoiling Emma. Seriously, we don’t deserve any of this, yet through your sweet, sweet hearts you chose to love on my little girl. I can’t wait to watch her grow up with all of you as her Godly examples.
