There was no theme, just a feeling.
I wanted a homemade dinner on the deck, candlelight, and the people who have carried us through one of the biggest seasons of our lives.
After multiple attempts to plan a baby shower in Arizona, it just never came together. I accepted that it probably wasn’t going to happen. Then my cousin stepped in, gathered everyone, and made it all happen in our new home. Family traveled from Washington, California, Nevada, and Utah, and felt so great to be together again!
It became a celebration of our baby girl, our new home, and every friend and family member who helped us get here. After moving across states, unpacking boxes, and preparing to welcome our third daughter, gathering everyone around the table felt like the sweetest way to pause and simply say, thank you.
Everything was homemade. Every detail was chosen with love. No over-the-top decorations—just an Oregon summer evening, good food, candlelight, laughter, and the people we love most.
Just 9 days later, our sweet Annemarie Josephine made her entrance into the world. Looking back, this evening feels like the cheers before the most beautiful chapter yet. 🥂
These are the kinds of gatherings that become part of your family’s story. The ones you’ll still talk about years from now. 🤍
Thank you McGee & Co. for the beautiful treasures! 🐟 🍋 🌊
