My Mom's Baby Shower

Yes Shocking. 
If you haven't been following me for long my mom is having a baby and is due in about a month!
We are beyond excited and can't wait to meet Ava Gray!
My sister and I decided since my mom hasn't had a baby in 17 years she deserved a baby shower
>>> HEADS UP<<<
This post is pretty photo heavy!!

We held the Shower for Ava Gray at the Pewter Rose Bistro in Charlotte

The theme was Asian and it fit perfectly with the lounge environment we were in because it was lined with origami cranes!
Our Chinese Take-Out Box Favors
They had pink personalized fortune cookies that were all about mom's shower!

Me with all the spread.. It was delicious

Scrap booking Stations.
Everyone made a page where my parents could input pictures of Ava later

The Cake

Some flowers with another favor which was a personalized fan

Diaper Cake :)

Hostest:
My sister, my mom's best friend and myself

Mom with her first two daughters :)

Mom and Michelle

The favor table :)

We also had everyone fill out their return address to make thank you cards easier. 

Everyone Making Ava's Pages

She got so many wonderful gifts but here were some of my favorites!!
Two handmade quilts from our Great Grand Mother
( I still have mine... they are the best blankets)

A rug for Ava's room decor

The Stroller... a must

The cutest baby ugg booties

And my absolute favorite gift. 
Ava is already a wolfpack fan :)
Bet you can't guess who bought that 

I am so excited for Ava to come and mom's shower was a blast!!!!
