Well I'm a little slow I admit, it took me a few months to realize it was my privilege to host Beckys baby shower. I have never been very good at hosting parties, not very many people show up to mine, and I didn't want to let anyone down. But with some very excellent food donations and inspiration from a couple of Pins on pinterest, I think it turned out ok. I think we invited about 28 women, mostly from Bex ward and a few friends from other wards and some friends of mine that we've gotten to run with. We had 18 women come besides Bex and I and I consider that to be pretty amazing! Especially for a Saturday midmorning in the middle of a record breaking rainstorm! I went with the dinosaur theme since thats the fabric they choose for the quilt mom made. I put a tiny little bit of pressure on Mom to finish the quilt in only 2 days so she could ship it to me and surprise Bex at the baby shower!!
These are my pathetic looking trees, I couldn't find the right paper lol. But I loved the rawr sign. and Kristen gave Bex the totally cute pj's with the dinosaur that I could hang up!
I set up 3 sides of my very old crib to hold all the gifts and you can see moms quilt hanging on the right side.
Ok nobody drank the punch, but it was very pretty and totally matched the blue and green theme. I put a nest found underneath with my version of a dinosaur egg. (dont' worry there weren't any bugs in it)
One of my favorite ideas, you scoop out the top of apples and put a green mum in the top! My friend made the table runners for her sons baptism and let me borrow ;)
Mostly Bex got the cutest clothes ever, a few diaper packs and some clever blankets made by crafty friends.
OK so I totally hate this picture of me, I was so stressed trying to get everything ready I didn't do my hair and I was sure no one would notice! But its a adorable picture of BEx so I will sacrifice and put it up!!
Yeah for amazing quilts from Mom!!
I forgot to get a picture of the whole spread, but it was delish :)
Gee did I not get in the group picture?? Lol neither did our friend Celeste.
