My whole life I have shared sad and happy moments, vacations, movies, birthday parties, clothes, stories, and memories with four women in my family: my mom, my Aunt, and my two cousins: Allison and Leigha. We are each two years apart from the oldest...of course I am the youngest coming in at 26. My cousin, Leigha, is the first one of us to be pregnant....thankfully Allison and I have a little bit of a preview of what it could be like for us when the day comes to have a baby bump! Which is NOT in the near future for me, but maybe for Allison! Leigha is a beautiful girl so it was no surprise to see her so cute with a bump! It was a wonderful day full of family and seeing faces we haven't seen in quite some time. You know you are a Ledbetter when you get a handmade quilt for a special occasion like getting married or having a baby. Leigha got two quilts that will one day be passed down and become an heirloom. To me there is nothing better than family heirlooms. What a blessed little boy to come into a family who already loves him so much.
Leigha's husband went to McCallie and this was a wonderful and thoughtful gift given by Allison's father in law...I know Leland will be sporting this soon after he is born because the 10 year reunion is on his due date!
Allison who lives in Atlanta, Leigha in Knoxville, and me here in Chattanooga...we don't get to see each other near as much as the good ol' days.
Here are some of the centerpieces I did for the shower. Leigha is a hugh book lover (as am I) so I figured why not do children's books as the centerpieces! This was a great way for me to give her a gift and also display it for everyone to travel down memory road! I just love the classics!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the centerpieces!!!! I can't wait until Erica and DB's shower!
