My sweet, sweet friends Jackie and Sue planned an awesome baby shower for me and my little baby girl. I was so excited for it, because Jackie and Sue don't party like normal people party. They party fabulously!! And they sure didn't disappoint! We had about 35 people show up and we had a blast! Our little girl's nursery theme is owls, and the colors and gray, white, and pink. Check out the beauty of this shower!
Adorable shower party favors thanks to Jackie. She made each one of these cute little owls. Clear ornaments with pink jelly beans inside. All of the guests just raved about them.
Lemon poppyseed cookies
Ham and cheese sliders
More party favors
My friend Shauna who is an interior decorator made all the center pieces and made this cute little tree to hang the favors on. I should have taken it home, I probably could have put it in the nursery. Oh well, I don't think it'd be hard to make another one.
All in all, the shower was a HUGE success, and I had an absolute blast! One of the coolest things about it was some of my clients came even though they didn't know anyone there, and they all stayed the entire time and chatted with all the ladies from my ward! At the end of the night they all told me how nice my friends were and how they enjoyed themselves so much. They were shocked by the shower and told me they had never been to a shower like this in their lives. It was such a great experience for them, and I couldn't have been happier. I love the ladies in my ward, and they were all so kind to my clients and made them feel right at home. I could tell my clients didn't even really want to leave!
And let's be honest, I made out like a bandit. It was awesome! I got some great stuff, I was really taken care of by my friends. There's something very special about a first baby coming into the world, and these ladies made sure my baby girl is going to rock this life in style! It was an unforgettable night, I couldn't have been happier. I loved every minute of it! I love being around ward friends, they're all wonderful people, and I love my clients too. They were so kind to come and celebrate with us all.
I am so thankful for the gospel and the camaraderie and sense of community it offers. Ander and I probably wouldn't have stayed in Texas if it hadn't been for our ward. Each ward you live in becomes your family (especially outside of Utah) and they all support each other. Heavenly Father knows how His church should be organized and I am so thankful for that.
Cheers to the tiny Meine!!
