Baby Shower...Round 2

Another baby shower has come and gone and WOW, I really do have the most amazing family and friends.  My friend, Jen is a fabulous baby shower hostess and planner and could not have planned a more fitting party for me.  My favorite food, my favorite desserts and even my new favorite "mocktail".  A big thanks to Jeff's sisters, Melissa and Kim, and my mother-in-law, Holly, who also had a huge role in making the day so special.

The shower was held at Jen's mom's house on Lake Conroe, which made for a beautiful setting.



Here I am with Jen and her mom.



Jen served all of my favorite appetizers--dates wrapped with prosciutto and filled with cheese, caprese salad, almonds, cheese, grapes and honey, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries and more!



A pink candy bar!

We also had a cotton candy machine to make pink cotton candy but I somehow forgot to take a picture of this:(


The most amazing idea for a baby shower activity--onesie decorating table!  Genius!!!
Jen bought (and dyed light pink, dark pink and purple) different size onesies (so glad for the different sizes) for guests to decorate for Baby Lawson.

The silver tray contains different iron-on appliques and the black plastic objects next to that are letters.  She also had paint and stamps for people to use.  I am still in awe at what a great idea this is.


Two of my favorites:

Jen made this one.  If you don't know, Patton is our furry son:)


Jen's mom made this one.  Get it--Tiny Dancer--LOVE!



One of the most exciting parts of the day (at least for me) is the cake!



The cake was so beautiful and delicious!  I am so excited to have the bottom layer in my freezer to eat as birthday cake next month:)



Thank you Melissa and Kim for bringing my favorite cake!


Diaper Cake
Jen's masterpiece!
I didn't get a great picture at the shower, so this picture will have to do.  I am certain I have enough #1 diapers to last quite a while:)  Being the great dermatologist she is, Jen included baby sunscreen, pacifiers, toys and soft stuffed animals.


A few of Jeff's favorite gifts:

The most fabulous diaper bag
For two girls that know zero about diaper bags, Jen and I managed to pick out this beauty.  The brand is Timi & Leslie and this bag has everything you could ever imagine needing or wanting in a diaper bag.  And the best part--it doesn't look like a diaper bag:)



If you have kids and have never heard of this product, you must check it out.  These great little labels identify bottles, sippy cups, etc and come in different colors.  I received these as a gift from a friend.  www.inchbug.com
