One of my best friends Monique, is having her first baby...a little girl, Lydia (due January 7th).
I am so excited she was able to visit from Las Vegas earlier this month.
The color/design theme for the shower was chevron and polka dots in pink, grey and white. Thank you Audrey for taking such beautiful pictures. You can reach Audrey at audreykim@rocketmail.com for photography services.

The food was amazing! I am so thankful to my Mom, Cori, Emily and Lisa for helping out. We had a great variety of food. The Menu: prosciutto/phyllo wrapped asparagus spears, cucumber chicken salad cups, stuffed mushrooms, spinach artichoke dip, brie with crackers, and fruit kabobs.
And the cake, it's amazing right!?! Thanks to Ashley Stanis for doing such a great job. This was her first belly cake ever and she whipped it up while her little ones took a nap. She makes cupcakes also. Here's her email if you need any sweet treats!! ashleystanis@yahoo.com

There is nothing more exciting and worthy of celebrating than the birth of a baby. It was such a joy to host this baby shower. Love you Monique and can't wait to meet you little Lydia!!
Have a beautiful day!!
