Ashley's Baby Shower

I have really been doing a terrible job at updating my blog lately, and SO much has happened in this first month of summer. My sister Ashley is having her first baby....a GIRL, due August 19th.  We threw a shower for her EARLY in June at my parents house in Chino Hills.  Most of the planning was done by my mom, who I might add is just as crazy as her daughters when it comes to party planning.  The theme for the shower was "Ciao Bella Baby" all based around a painting Ashley and Nate found of a Vespa scooter a while before they were even expecting.  The shower turned out absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait to meet me precious niece....and find out her name since Ashley and Nate are keeping that a secret until her arrival.  Here are some pictures of the shower....

I am so over the moon excited for my sister and Nate!  They truly are going to be AMAZING parents and are so deserving of this little miracle.  I cannot wait for my girls to have a little girl cousin to play with and grow up with.  My sisters and I are still so close with all of our cousins and I can't wait to pass all of our family traditions down to our little girls!
