Baby Tea!!

The same weekend, in fact the very next day, I attended a baby tea for Elena and her baby girl.  She just happens to be due the day before Ashley!  Elena is in my current Bible study!  Funny how all that happens.

Elena's sister hosted the shower on the screened-in porch of the boat house at Bond Park.  It was seriously the most laid back but fancy shower I've ever attended!  The location was perfect for this momma.

 

The spread of food was to die for!  I felt like we were having a true British tea!  Finger sandwiches and fruit with pound cake and a berry compote.  And peach sweet tea.  Perfect for a hot summer day! 

Lindsey Laughlin's photo!  Yeah, I stole it!

Dainty tea cups held flowers...and we ate on real plates with cloth napkins!  Fancy!

After chatting it up with some other guests and enjoying our food, we had the opportunity to paint onesies for baby Ballam.

It was SO MUCH FUN!

Next came a slew of gifts!  This sweet girl is going to have a house full of things to learn and grow!  I'm especially jealous of the bins covered in woodland animals!

Such a fun afternoon and a great time showering Elena!  You and John are going to make amazing parents and I can't wait to meet baby girl when she arrives!
