Beau and Bow Shower

I had my last baby shower this weekend.  Once again I was not disappointed!  I have the most creative and generous friends a girl could ask for.  The theme of this shower was Beau and Bow. I love how they incorporated girly things for Ellie and boyish stuff for Graham.  It was simply perfect!
 Buttoned up mushrooms and tickled pink shrimp.
 They even found Gluten Free bowtie pasta!
 Cheese having twins!!
Ellie's Pink Lemonade with pink bows.
Graham's Blueberry Tea with Mustache straws.
They even got Gluten Free cupcakes from my favorite place!
Each guest was asked to write down some advice on these cute cards and read them while I was opening their gift.
Some of my favorite answers were....
I hope you grow: "great heads of hair like your dad"
I hope you learn to: "like my voice because I talk to your mom a lot"
I hope you learn to: "talk to Jesus"
I hope you never forget: "to brush & floss"
I hope you love: "your parents friends"

I was definitely "showered" with lots of goodies for the twins.  I received a good combination of adorable outfits and practical items off our registry.  I still get so excited seeing all the new baby gear and all the matching outfits:)
 We even got Bon Jovi's Baby lullaby CD!!
I hope these babies know how much they are loved already by so many people.
Me and Emily.
 Me, Lillian, Stefanie and Katie
 Me with my Bonus Mom and Mother-in-law.
 Gwynne and I only weeks apart!
 Me and Katie.
 Me and Rachel.
All my wonderful hosts (minus Traci who couldn't make it and I missed so much!!!).
Before each guests left they signed one of my favorite books and took home rice krispy treats!
My thank you gift to the hosts was a bottle of champagne and a bottle of "baby's breath" nail polish.
The Champagne had a note that read "Keep this bottle chilled and ready, for when you get the call please pop the cork to celebrate the arrival of Graham and Ellie!
Can't believe how fast time has gone and that all my showers are over and its almost time for these babies to arrive.  We are just feeling so blessed to be surrounded by so many family and friends who already love them so much!
