this past saturday my sister in law gina, my mom, my friend fran and my friend billie jo all gave me the cutest baby shower in the world!! they all worked so hard on every tiny little detail and made the day perfect!! i enjoyed every second of the day and can't thank them enough for everything they did....including gina rubbing my feet at the end of the day!!
it was soooo very special to see all of my close friends and family (obviously there are a few back east that were missed). brady received so many special gifts from everyone....he is already loved by everyone. i am a very lucky person to have such loving, caring and giving people in my life. it made me realize that having people in your life that mean the world to you makes you the richest and happiest person on earth....thank you everyone for being so kind, i love you all.
now here are some pics from the amazing baby shower.
the front entrance was so cute
this was the sign in table when you walked in....yes the favors were many variations of chocolate covered pretzels that gina and billie jo hand dipped over a period of 12 hours
chantelle made this really yummy berry shortcake....it was delicious!
gina gave me this wicked cute diaper cake....it was made with a box of diapers (don't know how many that is yet but i am sure i will know soon), receiving blankets, decorations and a bottle of champagne in the middle...it is sooo cute i don't know if i will take it apart....well maybe for the champagne to celebrate Brady's arrival.
billie jo just whipped these up the morning of the shower...so cute and so yummy
fran made this awesome strawberry tower. another little detail that looked really good but also was delicious!
the food
yes...fran made this as well. how creative!!!!
very cute decorations that i got to keep
close up of the hand dipped pretzels
mimosa's with a tiny bit of pomegranate juice
punch
this was a great idea and the cuttest thing. the girls made a cupcake tower and billie jo's mother in law made each individual puppy face for the cupcakes..so cute. the girls were so cute because they know that i LOVE icecream cake so they made the huge cupcake on top and it actually is an icecream cake cupcake. there was oreo cookie icecrem in the center of the cupcake. i couldn't believe it and it tastes soo friggen good.
