Buffalo Baby Shower

My good friend Stephanie hosted a baby shower for me & our little one! Everything about this shower was simply adorable. From the invites to the decor to the yummy eats!

Steph claims not to be creative, but I think she did an excellent job on these darling invites!

I just love the banner & cute puff balls! Thanks Steph & Megan!

Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen? I couldn't get enough of this fruit baby carriage!

All of the yummies!

Some of the guests!

Camille, Elsie & me!
We played a few games that I have never played before & they were great! One was who could be the first to find the certain object in their purse or diaper bag. So funny to see what people actually carried around with them. Not to emberass my friend Dynese, ok, to emberass her. One item was if you had birth control of any kind. Sure enough this is what she whipped out:

Yes, that is what you think it is! We could not stop laughing! The funny thing is, she's expecting.
Way to be a good sport Dynese!
The other game we played was for me. Steph had previously talked to my mom & got information about me when I was a baby/kid. She would ask me questions & if I got them wrong, I would have to put a piece of bubble gum in my mouth. I started out nailing most of them, but by the end, I had a pretty good wad of gum to chew!

The cute outfits my little guy received! And such a fun way to display them too! Seriously Steph, you ARE creative! Give yourself some credit woman! ;)

The cute & creative host! Thanks Steph for putting this shower together & to everyone that helped & came. It was such a fun afternoon that I will never forget! This little one sure is spoiled! And I'll admit...I am too! :)

Wow, she is creative! I too cannot get over the watermelon carriage. That is so cute! I love the game idea too. I'm glad you have such cute friends in Buffalo. We miss you and can't wait to see pictures of Baby Boy Shaw.

The pic of Denyse with the special "package" is my favorite! That was hilarious. I'm glad you liked the invites and such :) But like I said, I'm just a shameless copycat! I too, can't wait to meet baby boy Shaw, but try to hold off until after Bunco!! Haha, you need one last girls night right?!

I love the idea of hanging all the outfits on a clothes line like that. Everything was really cute and it looks like you have enough baby clothes to last you a while. You have great friends out there, but we miss you here. I can't believe I won't be able to see you in the hospital with your newborn. But I'll see you during the holidays and our kids can play together... weird!

What a cute shower! and you don't look too wiped out either for the very last month! The little clothes on the line were darling. How many lines like that I've seen! I think you will have your little son on Sept 8th. I'm waiting, honey. G-ma
