A couple of months ago Bekah
offered to
give
Lauren
a
Baby Shower to celebrate the birth of little
Miss Audrey!
Nikki, Sarah and I offered to help!
We got together and had a planning meeting.
We knew there would be lots of
PINK
Then we talked and we emailed and pinned and crafted and sewed.
There was a lot of excitement.
Nikki had tons of amazing ideas, she is the QUEEN of CRAFTS!
Seriously, nothing intimidates her and she tries
EVERYTHING.
Bekah has lots of good ideas as well, she made the most
adorable
invitations,
and no one makes baby bows as cute as Sarah
and
thankfully
all of us have
PINTEREST!!!
It was like most showers and parties
A LOT
of work
BUT
in the end it turned out
as sweet and cute as could be.
Here is what the dining room
looked like before any guests arrived.
Below is the salad table.
Bekah made Ruby
a cute lace banner
(like the one behind the table here)
for her birthday
so I copied
and
made
this one.
Then Bekah found the most adorable tablecloths ever on someones Blog.
They had lots and lots
of
cute ruffles
and made the table look so sweet.
We had to have them.
Aren't they perfect?
Don't you think
Salads
should always come in glass jars
with
adorable labels
on them?
Me too!
What is a little harder to see is that in the wood box
to the right
of the
Fruit Salad
are three different Spreads for the rolls
cinnamon butter, strawberry butter, and strawberry jam.
This is the Cupcake table.
It also has a cute ruffl-ee tablecloth
and lots and lots of
Sweets.
YUM!
Mmmmmm...so delicious!
We may have made a few too many
CUPCAKES
But
we are enjoying the left overs.
Besides five different kinds of cupcakes;
white,
cherry,
caramel pretzel,
carrot cake,
caramel apple
there were also chocolate dipped pretzels, candied pecans, pink and white moose munch, and cream cheese mints!
As well as assorted little candies!
We had to fill those jars.
We had little labels for the cupcakes to show what they were!
Those girls think of
EVERYTHING
and know how to
make it so
CUTE.
This is my China Cabinet
all cute and painted
WHITE!
Wasn't it lucky that I just
happend
to
have
PINK PLATES!
Oh but they were
perfect!
We stalked the shelves with
our drinks
water and strawberry lemonade
with
pink and white
striped
straws!
The bottom drawers
were filled with our
favors.
Brown sugar scrub!
Great for dry skin.
In the kitchen we had a little
bow making station
set up
where Lauren's friends and family
could come and
make a
bow for Audrey!
Oh my
she got such cute bows.
Lots of different kinds
and colors.
Sarah got the supplies
for it
and made
that cute little
peach bow to get things
started.
It was such fun
and
the women
loved sitting down
at the table and visiting and creating.
What a fun day
that was.
Now you might be wondering where the pictures are
of the shower in progress
or the finished bows or
even of
Lauren.
That would be a good thing to wonder
but about the time
the shower started
thoughts of
picture taking
were replaced by
eating and
watching Lauren
open her gifts and
replenishing food
and cleaning up
and...well I'm sure
you get the picture...well actually you won't get that particular picture except in your mind.
The camera was laid down
and we enjoyed
ourselves
very much.
And we all went to bed early that night.
Thanks again for mopping my floor Sarah, and for having this great idea Bekah and for all of your amazing creatitons you are willing to share Nikki and for having Audrey, Lauren!
Daughter-in-laws are the sweetest of God's Gifts to me.
