After our eventful week with mom and grandma gina coming to stay to help paint the nursery and sew up some girly curtains we headed to SD for baby shower #1. My aunt Lisa was the host and she is a great host. She really does have the greatest ideas. She thinks of the cutest things and she has done it so many times for weddings and such that she has a million ideas. The weather that day driving back to SD was nasty it was actually strong winds and rain..go figure everytime Brian and I head back to SD it's terrible weather, but we made it. My shower wasn't until 7pm and by then it was actaully perfect out. The rain had stopped and the sun was still hiding which was just fine for me! :) It was actually cool enough that I wore a jacket..humid in Rochester not in Watertown made for a great shower.
Diaper cake my cousin Holly made..so clever how she did it btw..
Some of Lisa's clever ideas...really old second hand store table clothes of all sorts and the bouquets she made with scrapbooking paper and old broaches, and also mason jars filled with rice and a candle then tied fabric around the top that matches the fabric on top of our drink jars.
Since the shower was at 7pm she served dessert! YUMMY! There was a meat and cheese tray, veggie cups with cheddar veggie dip, chocolate cupcake with homemade frosting, key lime & strawberry cheesecake cups with almonds crushed on top, and a delish spread that we put on chocolate goldfish..not totally sure but I know it had something to do with raspberries and white zinfandale wine also with almonds in it.
Drinks were raspberry lemonade, cucumber/lime water, coffee, or wine..No wine for me but I sure did down the other 2..
Our adorable drink jars! Such a cute idea! I love the shabby chic!
We played one game, which was to guess my waist line...Sad to say that my aunt Laurie won and she measured around her own waist for her guess.. And I believe Ashley was the furthest off since she guessed pretty much the whole roll..Thanks!
Ashley was in charge of the camera and this was the only photo that I had that I was not caught talking or making a weird face in...

Haha yes she actually does Beth..and she is dirt cheap! I told her she could easily be charging like $100/hr for her parties!
