High School besties mini shower weekend

*First of all: thank you to Caryn for these pics!  I have been a little lagging in the photog area this pregnancy!

We got together for a quick one-nighter weekend which was graciously arranged and planned by these sweet one of a kind friends.  Ann and I were SO appreciative of them taking the time to drive from their cities, work out childcare, and just clear the calendar to celebrate our babies coming!
(Shannon M, Lauren, Ann, Shannon B, Caryn, Wendi in spirit from Doha! :(   )

We started the night at 135 Prime which was DELICIOUS of course and just got some good chat time in. 

How cute is this cake?  Lauren made it!  And even the layers inside were pink/blue/pink/blue.  By now you've figured out Ann is having a boy.  :)
And look at those beauties in the background???  That's right, they gave us these gorgeous diaper bags that I for one cannot wait to start using!!  Thank you so much, girls!

After dinner we came home and had our cake, checked out the new diaper bags, and continued our talking well into the night.  (Haven't done that in a while!)  The next morning we got to Skype with Wendi which of course is not enough time with her, but we'll take it!  Then we quickly said our goodbyes and headed out in all different directions.
I love you girls so much, and you are all at the top of my list of "things I'm thankful for".  Much love to you!!!!  Thanks for everything---little Mary Claire is so blessed to have such sweet adopted "aunties" in her life. 
p.s. Ann---I am so excited to have a baby with you this go round!  (Our older two are slightly staggered in age so to have two in the same grade is just too fun!)
