Grace Foster's Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for my sweet little girl this past Sunday at our country club. We <3 Forest Lake obviously since it's where our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception were held. It was such a lovely day and Derrick even made an appearance towards the end of the shower (to help with gifts of course). Grace Foster is such a loved little girl already and I can't wait for our furniture to all FINALLY be here in the next couple of weeks so we can put all of her new pretties away.

Shrimp & Grits

This morning I experienced my first kid's clothes sample sale courtesy of Shrimp & Grits Kids in Mt Pleasant. It was INSANE to say the least. Thank goodness we got there 15 minutes early, then spent an hour deciding what we were going to get out of the huge piles in our hands. I ended up with 3 bishops and a pair of adorable overalls. I wanted one more outfit (the elephant overalls) but decided to wait and see if it goes on sale on their website and just get it later. Enjoy my little girl's new outfits; she's sure to be quite the stylish baby.
