B is for BaBy Boy!

Last Saturday I threw a baby shower for my good friend Rachel!

She is pregnant with their first baby and due the beginning of September.

These sorts of events are good for me because I get to practice fun ideas I steal from other people :) The invitation, baby shower banner, watermelon, and cup cakes were all ideas stolen from much more creative people than myself- so I can not take credit!

To be honest, I was shocked the baby carriage turned out. Next up- ice sculptures!:)

Thanks to everyone that helped bring the yummy treats!

Here's Camille and the mommy to be !

More of the guests...

We played two fun games. The first one, I asked Rachel questions about herself as a baby (got the answers from her mom) and for every question she got wrong, she had to chew a piece of Bubble Gum. Sad I didn't get a picture!

Then, for the next one, I would say the name of an item, and the first person to find it in their purse/diaper bag got a little prize! Well, the first item I called out happened to be (stop reading if you are under 18) birth control of any kind! I got some confused looks, a bit of scrambling, then Denyse pulled this out!

Haha! Poor girl was so embarrassed and I still made her pose for a picture. Love it! She probably wouldn't have been so willing to to participate if she knew the prizes were only an assortment of chocolate bars! I hope she forgives me for posting this pic. Way to get the party started Denyse!

Well, Rach got some great gifts and we strung up the clothes "clothes line style" for everyone to see.

Isn't she beautiful! Love this girl!

Can't wait to meet sweet baby Luke or Gavin!
