Oh Deer!

Baby showers have become “quite the event” these days, and Grandpa’s (soon to be here) little princess was not going to miss out on one of her own!  Shiloh’s mommy, Grandma Bunny, Aunties Liz, Patti, LeeLee, and DeeDee, Uncle Steve, Cousins Kiersten and Cole, and lots of friends and family converged on Hudson’s on Mercer for a fun afternoon of food, music, baby gifts, and more.

The over-the-top decorations, incredible treats from Torchy’s (yay queso and tacos!), a beautiful cake, a headband-making station to set Shiloh up with her initial installment towards a lifetime supply of fashion accessories, and the beautiful venue made this an afternoon to remember.

(and yes – the “deer” instead of “dear” was intentional and part of the theme!)

Enjoy a few sample photos below – a great time was had by everyone! The REST of the photos can be found here!

And now – bring on baby Shiloh!
