My sweet mom came to town this weekend and hosted baby girl and I the most beautiful garden baby shower! It was small, simple, and perfect! A few family members living near by and some of my closest friends came to celebrate with us and baby girl was completely spoiled!
32 weeks pregnant ...
We had the cutest little set up in my backyard where we had the party. We hung an "OH BABY" balloon banner on the fence with some of my favorite peachy pink colored balloons.
Nic helped set up our new umbrella to try and shade the table because it was definitely hot out there by 11:30 A.M. We decorated the table with berry boxes and a little watering can filled with beautiful cone flowers and baby's breath. It turned out beautiful! I'm so excited to plant the rest of the cone flower plants in my front yard to remind me every summer of the shower they were from. :)
As guests arrived, we had chicken salad sandwiches on croissants, veggies, cheese and crackers, and pink lemonade for lunch. Everyone got to know each other and catch up as we ate.
We played pass the prize with a cute poem which Nic wrote half of ;) (I was seriously impressed!) and guess the children's book title. My friend Dani won the first game and my friend Mickenzie won the second and both got cute flower covered closet scent bags to hang in their closets and make them smell good!
After games we had sugar cookie fruit pizzas for dessert. They were a HUGE hit with the kids and they loved licking off ALLLL the frosting. haha
After dessert was gift opening. Baby girl got so many adorable outfits, blankets, and cute things to finish decorating her nursery that we ended the day feeling so much more prepared and set for her arrival!
Liam's little best friend Hadley came to the shower with this magic wand that clearly he was fascinated with, so funny ... haha
I gave all the guests a peek into her nursery before they left. One of my oldest and dearest friends drove all the way from Twin Falls to come to the shower (it meant so much to me!) so she stayed a little while longer after everyone else left to talk with my mom and I!
So many thank you's from this day ...
To my mom :: for driving all this way to spend the weekend with us, putting together food and decorations, and for everything that went into hosting the best baby shower!!
To my sweet friends and family who came :: thank you for being part of such a special day for me. It meant the world!
To my friends and family who sent gifts but weren't able to travel so far :: you were definitely missed but made baby girl and I feel so loved!
