Sweet Baby Girl!

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.
