This past weekend my sister's best friend Lois, my mom, Brooke (sis-in-law-to-be) and I all threw Ashley a Sprinkle* to celebrate the upcoming debut of sweet, baby Miles.
* still with lots of love, just not a shower (as with 1st babies), but rather a sprinkle.
It was such a great day! Ashley's nearest and dearest all drove in (except for Jamie, she was local) for the day to celebrate. It was a quaint group of girls and I think everyone had good time, and most importantly, I think it was a relaxing time for the Mama-of-2-to-be :):).
We started out with pedicures accompanied by mimosas and funny conversations about this and that. We were all laughing at just how IN the know everyone is about everyone else's bizness, thanks to Facebook. Maybe a little too in-the-know?!?!
After the pedis we headed to Sironia for a scrumptious lunch. Scott brought Mabry for the lunch portion of the Sprinkle. She was so excited to be a part of the special day for Miles, especially to be lunching with the ladies, she was such the big girl.
We ended lunch with cupcakes from Sprinkles followed by some gift opening by Ash, along with her " I couldn't have done it without you" helper, Mabry. Insert huge wink, wink here ;). It was special to see how protective Mabry already is of Miles. She was sure to show everyone what her Mommy was getting for her baby brother, and how it was only for Miles, just for Miles. It was important stuff, people :). She was too, too cute.
In one of the pics you'll see a clothesline with onesies, shoes, a bib, etc...hanging. Mom and I were brainstorming ideas for decorating the lunch area and hanging the clothes came up. Well, my sweet dad volunteered and proceeded to construct that thing himself, from scratch, cut, sanded, painted, the whole bit. Plus, he even came to help set-up and take down all of the party stuff.
My mom created the cute boxes with the neat-o ribbon, flowers, stuffed animal and lovey. Brooke brought all of the bubbly and cupcakes from Dallas. Lois was in charge of the uber-cute invites. It was such a fun, fun time putting it together for Miss Ash!
We are all very excited to meet Miles in just a few, short weeks. He will be here before we know it! I am so thankful for a wonderful day spent with a great group of girls honoring Ashley and Miles. Now bring on the blue :).
