Baby Shower = Success! :-)

We all know that Nolan and I are not ones to host much of anything... it just really isn't our gift I guess you could say, but I successfully co-hosted (although I felt like I did a whole lot more, none the less ;-) ) a baby shower for my sweet, Aggie friend, Laura, and was quite pleased that it turned out great! :-)


Hostesses with Momma to Be, Laura... Katie, Laura, and Me All Aggies!

Drinks!
*Vintage sodas from Cracker Barrel*
Someone said... "Beer at a baby shower?"
Yes... beer at a baby shower, we are THAT classy ;-)

A few decorations/gifts... :-)

Pinwheels and cupcakes!
I made the cupcakes... Katie made the pinwheels.. team effort!

Yummy spread!
I was very flattered that ALL of the artichoke spinach dip got eaten... :-)
Nolan had made it before and we had brought it to a gathering at Laura's house previously and she loved it! :-)

Slinky clothesline... better in theory...
as you can see this is a clothes(less) clothesline..

Liam headed for a nap!
All smiles behind that pacifier! :-)

It's a Boy! banner that Katie made!

The other side side
"Patrick"

Me and Liam :-)

Staged photo of me at the shower... since I was taking all of the pictures... :-)

Ultrasound, cracker jacks and blocks decorations...

Balloons!
I learned from personal experience that latex helium balloons only last 8 - 10 hours...
Thus, being proactive and buying them the night before the shower = FAIL! LOL
I went back and bought more 1 hour prior to the shower! AHHH!
BUT Nolan did call on the way back, so I was able to chat with him while driving, so as to not focus so much on how big of a hurry I was in to get to the shower! :-)
