MY Baby Shower

Let’s start with my baby shower…

The BEST SHOWER EVER!!!! you may think I’m exaggerating here, but if you do… then you must not have been there… I’m so sorry for you.

am i the only one who goes crazy over this punch? the lime green sherberty, bubbly concoction typically found only at showers and potlucks… mmm, so good.

my mom was kind enough to host the party at her house, already decorated for Christmas which made things even THAT much more awesome… while my beautiful sister orchestrated the rest of the party… she did a fabulous job

Here’s the onesie decorating room. i have more onesies than i think i will even be able to use now, seriously

check out the party favors!!!! that’s right, adorable little notepads with candy

and now…

brace yourself…

my loot pile:

holy crap. that’s all i have to say. i feel so loved

and we haven’t even TOUCHED on the food yet. We started out with Spicy Pickle sandwiches. Delicious!!

from there, the contributions just FLOWED in…

pate, thanks to my mom, because i asked for it and i LOVE IT!!… corn dip from Brooke, soooo goooood…. and baked potato dip from Carrie…. FREAKIN DELICIOUS!!

Kara truly outdid herself… carting a 1 month old, she also managed to provide cupcakes, and cake balls that were SOO ADORABLE! then, as a last minute hotel option, she brought shot glasses of 7 layer dip with chips… gah! (dont worry, i’ll come back to the 1 month old… tee hee!)

alyson also made little spirals… some of my favorites. and yummy pigs in a blanket, because we all have a little white trash in us, and anyone that tells me they don’t LOOOOVE these little guys is lying to my face and i pray you are struck down for your insubordination and denial.

who takes this kind of time and care on cupcakes i ask you??? KARA! that’s right.

and of course, a party isn’t a party without some booze… mimosa’s flowed freely… i only wish i could have partaken… *sigh*.

i did say i’d come back to the 1 month old, right?

oh isn’t she just the most precious thing you’ve ever seen in your life?!!!! in case the connection has been missed, this is the little bundle of joy who we all celebrated not too long ago in my blog about the shower i threw for Kara… Madeline

oh my goodness…

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! can you even stand it?!!! i might explode from the cuteness… watch out people.

i won’t bore you with all my gift opening… alyson planned a game of “gift bingo” to keep everyone from yawning and eventually expiring from the boredom of watching me unwrap presents forever. GENIUS alyson. Since you people don’t have those nifty bingo cards, suffice to say that i have the most wonderful friends in the world, and they have all spoiled me and little baby girl rotten, we have so much wonderful, gorgeous, thoughtful stuff now i hardly know how to say thank you!!

i WILL however display some of the awesome onesies that people came up with…

all in all an amazing success.

thanks to everybody that came, i had such a wonderful time!!! and thanks to my amazing friends for their help and contributions to the party… and of course, i LOVE my sister and my mom!!! thanks SO MUCH for the best party EVER!!!
