A bAbY sHoWeR!

This last Saturday, my sisters and I threw a baby shower for our youngest sister, Kristin. My sister, Suzanne, came all the way from Texas just for the event. I LOVED having all of my sisters together. Kristin's the last one to have her first baby, so it was a major event for us. We are so excited for her and know she's going to be an excellent mommy because she is an INCREDIBLE aunt. McKay is going to be a little jealous when the baby arrives.

I'm glad and relieved the event came together mostly as planned. We had a lot of fun planning and decorating, and loved seeing Kristin's reaction to all of it. We based the decor off of the shower invitation.






With her super talent, Suzanne drew (freehand) and painted the characters from the invitation:



The food was delicious! Croissants, chicken salad, seafood salad, Janet's black bean avocado dip (THE hit) and fruit kabobs. Holly made the adorable cake. Can you believe the detail on this teddy bear?



Janet put together the most adorable diaper cake I've ever seen!



We played fun games and had a onesie decorating contest. All the onesies turned out so cute!



Here's Kristin supervising the decorating. She looks a little concerned.


We had Kristin judge and pick the winners.


I think Baby Boy Porter is all set. We are counting down the days to his arrival, which should be in another month.
