Baby Shower- Part 2

Last week I shared some shots of our baby shower. Click HERE if you'd like to see the decor and games. It was such a great day. I feel so lucky that so many great people love us and Baby G so very much. So many people worked so hard to make this day perfect of us. We feel so very blessed in so many ways. 

Holding the diaper cake my sister in law made. 

The diaper cake is filled with health and wellness goodies for baby. 

My amazing little gift opener! 

My mother in law gave us a blanket she handmade along with a blanket (pictured above) from Baby Gargano's late, great grandma as well as Brian's baby blanket. 

So many goodies. 

Grandma's to be. 

Great Grandma to be. 

To top off a fantastic shower we had the most delicious desert bar. 

Sugar cookies made by my friend Jessica. 

Look how amazing they are! 

She just started doing this little side business. 

They not only looked good they tasted even better. 

My brother's fiancé picked up fresh cider donuts (my favorite) at a local farm. 

My sister in law knows I LOVE pumpkin spice lattes so she made the most delicious pumpkin, cappuccino cupcakes! 

The favor bags my future sister in law picked up for the shower. 

They were adorable and fit take home goodies. 

Mommy and Daddy!

Baby Shower-Part 1

Words can not express how incredibly blessed I feel after celebrating our baby shower last weekend. Everything was so wonderful. I couldn't have asked for anything more. My mom worked her behind off; planning for months, cooking up a storm and setting everything up.

My shower was not a surprise. I was so glad I was able to help and be a part of the planning. My parents and I spent the day before the shower cooking, decorating and spending some fun family time together.

We utilized our development's club house. It was the perfect location. It if just down the road from our house and it was a perfect blank canvas for decor. We went with a fall theme and decorated with some of our favorite fall decorations and threw in some pumpkins, gourds, and mums.

Our gift table before the gifts arrived. I created the "Thank You" banner from fall themed scrapbook paper, some white paint and ribbon. We decorated the table with pumpkins and some small indian corn. (On the corners of the table)

We used this table for our guest books. Each book had a fall theme. 

We also had a mason jar filled with candy corn and asked our company to guess how many were inside. I also made the "Baby" banner that hung above. 

We set up each table with beautiful Pelee Mums, gourds, and indian corn. 

Some of the decorations on the tables were taken right from momma's house! 

We hung leaf garland and indian corn garland from all of the windows. 

I'm so sad. I planted these beauties in my front yard and the deer ate every single petal! 

This is something I made and we hung it in the center of the room. 

I was afraid the entire shower would be a little to fall and not enough baby. 

We asked out guests to write little wishes for us and Baby G. 

I can't wait to make a little scrapbook with all the lovely notes. 

Our guests filled out our calendar with the day and sex of Baby G. 

I increased the size of the image so you can see lots of girls up there. 

We played Baby bingo and "Who knows Mommy and Daddy"

It's crazy but my best friend's little girl, 6 years old, WON!!! 

We had a a bunch of fall them gifts for all the winners. 

This amazing diaper cake from my sister in law. 

It looks a little messy because I couldn't wait to see all the goodies inside and I did not put it back correctly! It is filled with baby tylenol, gas relief, thermometer and lots of other goodies. 

Here is one of our favors. My mother in law creates pottery and she made an apple soap dish. 

My mom found these adorable Cute As a Button soap to add to the soap dish.
