Tiffany is having a baby {boy}

My friend Tiffany is having her 2nd baby in November. She is having a baby boy which means we had to help her celebrate & get her ready for this little bundle of joy!
My friend Melanie asked me to help her throw the shower by having it in my backyard. So the planning began! We decided to go with a 'Dinosaur' theme!

The Food Table
{notice the little dinosaurs all over? so cute!}

The spread was fabulous! Chicken croissants, veggies, pasta salad, fruit n'dip, cheese ball, pistachio/chocolate cake, lemon/raspberry tartletss, candy, soda....delicious!

The whole group!

Me, Tiffany & Melanie
This was a really fun shower & it was so fun to see all the great gifts she got. I can't wait to meet this little man!

Hey Rachel :) I love looking at your blog and seeing all the cute parties you do! So creative...I have a problem, I am not the most creative and my sister and I are going to be doing a party with some friends and I was wondering if you could email me some of your yummy treat recipes and ideas? Or if there is a website where you get a lot of your stuff from. My email is shawneegriffeth@yahoo.com. I would really appreciate the help :) Thanks and keep posting!
