Baby Shower

This post is overdue. Hopefully this baby won't follow suit. He is due on Monday, but I'm thinking tomorrow would be a perfectly good day to have a baby.  :)

A couple weeks ago, my good friend Holly threw me the cutest baby shower. She is a party planner extraordinaire and did not disappoint. She used a "Little Man" theme and everything turned out so cute. I am always amazed whenever she throws a party. She plans things down to the details. She really has a gift.

The invitations were so clever and cute.



 The decorations and food table were equally adorable.



There was a big snowstorm the morning of the shower so several people who lived up north couldn't come. My sister, Anne and sister in law, Kylene, however, definitely won some serious sister points. Anne drove down from Sandy and Kylene wins the prize for furthest distance traveled and came down all the way from Ogden- in the snow. She's the best. It meant so much to me to have her there.

The shower started with some fun games. Holly had me give her a few random facts about each of my pregnancies and then the guests had to match up the pregnancy fact with which "Little Man's" pregnancy it was describing. Coming up with the facts made me realize how little I documented Brady's pregnancy. It was easy to find things about Ryan's pregnancy because of the monthly emails I would send my mom and sisters.



After eating some delicious food, we played a mustache match up game. Like I said, Holly is so clever and ties everything back to the theme.

 

It was actually kind of fun to just have a few people there and they were definitely 5 of my most favorite women (plus my favorite baby boy)- so it worked out just perfectly!

 Notice the cute mustache straws Holly made. Awesome.

This "sisters shot" is one of my favorite pictures from the shower. It has been so fun to have both my sisters in Utah with me. They're the greatest.

I got some really thoughtful gifts that I am excited to use on baby boy when he decides to come. I told Holly when she offered to throw me a shower that I felt silly having one since this is my third baby- and another boy no less. She said, "every baby deserves a celebration." I'd never thought of it that way before, but she's right. I am just as excited to welcome this little boy to our family as I was with Ryan and Brady. I feel so lucky to have such great friends and family who would celebrate him with me. 

For party favors (I'm telling you, this girl thinks of everything) Holly made (made!) cute little mustache chocolate pops.

 

You can't get the full effect with them in the wrapper. I'm sure Holly will appreciate me using the picture of her modeling them. I was bummed when I realized I didn't get one picture of me and her. She had to be in at least one picture on this post!

 

Not only did Holly plan and execute the whole shower, but she took all the pictures as well. I snagged these all off her blog. She's amazing. 

Thanks Holly!
