Riley's "Garden" Shower

Yes, I know that it's June and I'm just now posting stuff from March, but I've been a little occupied and a little lot lazy!   please forgive me :)

Now onto the post...

I'm not sure if you remember my previous shower (click here), but it was wonderful!  I didn't think my mom could outdo herself, but she did!  My family threw me another beautiful shower and all the little details were amazing!  Deven and I feel so lucky that we have so many family and friends who already love our little Riley so much!
My shower was held at Mimi's Cafe and when I walked into our private room I saw all these beautiful table decorations!
When everyone walked in, they were to sign one of the flower petals (beautifully painted by my mother-in-law Nancy), we will then hang the painting in Riley's room, so she can see all the people that showered her with LOVE!
The beautiful table arrangements.
The favors (made by my sister Krystle) were little Champagne bottles with little owls and/or baby hand prints - so adorable!
Next were the beautiful centerpieces.  I must say that the star of the show was this owl, which was completely made (by Krystle) out of silk flowers.
My mom made this "advice garden" which gave all my guest the opportunity to give Riley advice for the future (these are always so much fun to read!)
Then of course there was the cake!   
 
And none of this would be possible without all of our wonderful family and friends!!
 
 
 
 
Do all of you remember my ADORABLE flower girl Chloe?  This is her now - she's almost as tall as me!!!!  It's amazing how fast they grow up!
 
 
One of the games we played was "guess the size of my belly"... apparently some people thought I was WAYYYYY bigger than I actually was. 
 Krystle & Thiri did a particularly BAD job of guessing! haha
 
 After a few games it was time for the presents!
 
 matching outfits for Madison and Riley!!
LOVE IT!!!!!

The shower was way more than I ever expected!  Riley is one lucky girl, she has so many wonderful people in her life, but she's especially lucky, since she already has the most loving big sister in the world! 
Thank you everyone!!!
