Feathering the Nest

Last weekend, I jetted away to Nashville, TN, to celebrate and help host the baby shower of one of my very best friends, Aubs.  I had the BEST weekend, filled with shopping, dining, baking, visiting with family, and catching up with all my college girlfriends!  
Some pics from the weekend!

flying over the Smokies!

shopping in Nashville - new boots! (50% off!)

lunch at CPK


Carter's nursery is ready!

The morning of the baby shower, I needed to bake 72 cupcakes, so I hired my two sweet-as-pie nieces to help!  Their pay was to get to decorate and enjoy their own special cupcake ;)
  We had so much fun and I think the cupcakes turned out so cute!  (The theme of the shower was "Feathering the Nest")



ta-da!
