Now note: some thought this was trashy (no pun intended) but please realize it was in fun and both the parents and Harper got some wonderfully personal and fantastic gifts to help ease her into our world. Not trying to sound preachy but it was listed to "keep the dress trashy and the gifts trashy". The 2 party planners (pictured below) are Katie's best friends and would do nothing to spoil the actual point of the shower.
Are you ready to get a glimpse into the "glamorous" side of the trailer park?! Think tattoos, a lot of boobs, hooker eye shadow and camo...are you ready?!
(My family) From Left: "Ni-co" (like Nicole), "Jessie" and "Misty" are ready for the party! Misty likes to dress up for these type of affairs and she wasn't happy when Ni-co suggested she wear her cut offs and her NASCAR shirt instead.
The cake! Notice the spelling? LOL! A trailer, two babies already, Shell-tayla Barbie is having a hard time now that Travis left (and left her with a black eye!)
The Ferris wheel of snacks.
'The drink "keg" and the diaper truck. No need for an extension to lift this truck up! It'll be muddin' in plenty of time once Harper gets here!
The mommy to be and baby Harper!
The food-chicken fries, veggies, and fruit.
Another shot of this awesome cake
Some of the "classiest" guests. Did I forget to mention that this was held in a BAR?! We had a side of it blocked off as to complete the whole "white trash" theme, haha!
Advice for the mom to be-some were funny, some heartfelt, and some just plain crazy!
The start of the great gifts they all got! Some were wrapped all sweet while others were wrapped in Just Busted and duck tape and others were put in beer cases and Walmart bags!
The "gift bags"-a 6 pack container which held a fake tattoo, string cheese and crackers, a pack of candy cigarettes, a knock off brand soda, a pack of cards, a NASCAR coozie, a shot glass, some vodka, a bag of sweet tea, and it was all held together with a bungee cord. CLASSY.
From left: Lynde (also a mom-to-be!), Ashlee, Lisa and Katie. Lynde and Ashlee were the party throwers.
"Misty" with the guests of honor! Katie and I have been friends since we were 8 years old! Though we don't get to see one another much I still consider her a friend and a great lady!
All of the female guests-we were ready to "get our camera on", LOL.
Katie laughing at her "Hicks site #1" sign. She was about to open her wonderful gifts! I didn't include too many gift pictures because they would have gone on FOREVER! It's good to know that both Katie and her husband have so many thoughtful and supporting friends in this new journey of their lives-very blessed.
Katie opening the gift from me and Der-we got baby Harper a little pink bathrobe, pink bath slippers and some pink bath towels-all so tiny and cute! Yay baby Harper!
Lisa got them this wonderful personalized diaper bag-it had so many pockets and compartments and she filled them with gifts too! Very sweet.
All in all the trashiest but most fun affair I've been to in quite some time. It was great seeing so many friends I haven't seen or been in the best of contact with and it was FANTASTIC to see Katie, her husband, and rub on little Harper!
She'll be making her appearance at the beginning of November.
CONGRATS KATIE AND COBY! AND WE'RE READY TO WELCOME YOU TO THE WORLD SWEET HARPER!
