baby it's cold outside

my easy-going (and beautifully pregnant) friend nicole is into colorful prints and girly frills which is why knowing that she's going to have a little girl just makes sense.  she'll make such a great mommy!  this past weekend, to celebrate this new beginning a couple other girlfriends and i hosted a shower in her honor.

since it's winter it only seemed natural to play on the frigid temps (although it ended up being 50 degrees on saturday) and make the theme 'baby it's cold outside'.  we kept the accents pink, asked guests to bring books with personalized messages in lieu of cards, we created a hot chocolate bar, and ordered cookies instead of cake (at her request).  the mood was light and the house was warm.  it was a perfect afternoon and i’m humbled that i was a part of it all.  cody and nicole are going to be phenomenal parents!

here are some pictures.  enjoy!
