Toadies baby shower!
7:15 AM Edit This 3 Comments »
I hosted Ty's sister Kate's (we call her Toadie) baby shower on the 28th. It was a lot of fun and I think we had a good turn out!
I was struggling to find decorations that weren't the cheesy stereotypical stuff, but it was actually really hard. I did make these puff balls to hang in the center of the table. Everything else was pretty basic... pink and white. I just did Costco food to keep me focused on hostessing and not worrying about cooking. I put out my Easter decorations the day before and they actually looked great mixed in with all the pastels.
I set up a onsie decorating station on the table. Everyone signed in and wrote down advice in a baby shower memory book and then they could get food or decorate onsies... there were so many cute ones. I wish I would have taken pictures. I think Toad really enjoyed getting all of the original artwork too.
Ya. she did ok for herself! I'm so excited to be getting a niece in the next 5 weeks.

We played the melted candy bar in the diaper game. It was fun and really challenging. I've never played it at a baby shower but I've heard of it being done, sounded super fun. It was mostly fun for me to look around and see every ones nose buried in a diaper sniffing. We also played the obligatory "guess how big the preggos belly is" and the "don't say baby or someone will steal your clothes pin" game.
There's the mommy-to-be herself! Sniffing away!
Then there was the opening of presents. This is always my favorite part of the baby shower. I love to see all the little clothes and all the nifty gadgets.
