    We threw a Baby Shower!

    This weekend I got to co-host a baby shower for two of our dearest friends!!! The house was PACKED full of people, and the guests of honor were thrilled.
    It was a Jack and Jill shower, meaning both men and women were invited, and it turned into a party but with lots of presents for the Mom and Dad to be!

    Like I said, we were co-hosts with our friend Rachel. Together we tackled the decorations and food!

    I thought that a diaper cake would be fun, new mom's can always use diapers, right?
    Lee and I tackled the diaper cake making on Thursday night, we rolled over 150 diapers . . . Lee said it was the most ridiculous thing he's ever helped me do, but that it turned out super cool! haha
    The cake was topped off with a sock monkey!
    We also added some Pom Poms to the pendant above the table.
    Next, since it was an Owl Theme, I tackled some owl cupcakes.
    Using Oreos for eyes worked out great!
     We did both blue and green cupcake icing . . .
    and just because you can't have enough cupcakes I made some white ones as well.
    Rachel thought of a candy table, she had me at Candy!
    Lastly a little banner . . .
    I think our guests of honor had a good time . . . and we got a great sneak peek of some seriously adorable baby goods!
    So a big congratulations to Matt and Sara, we love you guys!!

    Pop back tomorrow for another peek into our future babies room . . . we'll be "rocking" our latest thrift store find! ;)

      Loved your ideas. Were the diapers disposable or cloth? P.S. you always have the best looking cupcakes.

      You are so creative. Those owl cupcakes are so cute! I've never seen Oreos used like that before. What a great idea!
