My Sister's Baby Shower

My sister's baby shower was today! We were thankful for beautiful weather, and I was especially thankful for Jeff taking the kids out and about for awhile, and for all the help from my mom and Linnea. They helped with more things than I can list here!
Amanda helped a lot, too, and she and I got little bags of chocolate together a few weeks ago to give to each person. She came up with little quotes to put on the tags.

Mom and Linnea load the Aram (sp?) sandwiches into little boxes

Assembling the gift bags (think boxed lunch, but in bags)

All set up and ready for guests to arrive.

Drinks in the middle of the table

Goodies and lunch in the bags. Amanda had made a CD of songs for each of us that went along with the baby theme. (Not lullabies, but songs with lyrics including babies or girls.)

Time to eat!

Mom. Amanda, and me

The cake. It was as yummy as it was cute!



My grandma gave these shirts to Amanda. I love them, but I love what Grandma said even more: "I didn't want one to think she was cuter than the other." Ha!

Yes! Hangers!

Opening the big box




Big thanks to everyone who showered my sister with gracious gifts for the babies!
