Baby Showers- Indianapolis 2/20/11 & Northwest Indiana 2/27/11

We are so lucky to have so many generous family and friends! A huge thank you to everyone that made so many efforts to get us ready for Baby Nicolini's arrival!

Indianapolis Baby Shower
Thank you Melissa and Rachel for throwing me a truly fabulous, cupcake inspired baby shower in Indy! It was a truly class event held at the Huebner household! Thanks to Heather as well for making the A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E diaper cake- it was so cute/creative. Many, many thanks to those who traveled from far away- my mom and sister, Kevin's mom and sister, Mary Margaret, and Emily! It was so nice to have so many people there who mean so much to Kevin and I! Here are a couple of shots from that event:

Mary Margaret, the soon-to-be Grandma, and Emily....and check out that diaper cake!

Northwest Indiana Baby Shower
I am so very very lucky to have the family that I have- a HUGE thank you to Baby Nicolini's soon-to-be Aunties (Mary, Moe, and Reese- a.k.a. Ti Ti Reese) and my mom for putting on a beautiful shower at The Lighthouse in Cedar Lake. They had everything coordinated down to the very detail (fuscia and turquoise M&M's...fuscia and turquoise gift baskets at every table...even fuscia and turquoise bows around every chair!) It was such a great afternoon and such a fun weekend to spend with my seesters/family/friends! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't help but post some pics of the actual room since everything was so pretty!

Turquoise and Fuscia....

The M&M were turquoise and fuscia...

Mom, Moe, Mary, and Reese- the hostesses with the most-ess (es)

Grandma and Aunt Geri's table watching intently as I open gifts...

The other Ranta's equally intent...

The cousin's: (back row from left) Mary, Amy, Reese, Moe, Me, Megan (due in July with baby girl- yay!), Abby, Jen; (front row from left) Avery, Kalle....obviously Avery and Kalle have learned that there is always a pose involved in the cousin picture!

Me- trying to get through reading (out loud mind you- per one of the guests request) the card that my mom got for me- I tried to get out of it by having Reese read it out loud but she would be equally blubbering like I was....oh those pregnancy hormones!

A smooch for Dad since there were "No Boys Allowed" at this event!!
