A RED WAGON Shower

I can't believe it.  My little sis is having a baby boy in May.  That makes 4 new grand-babies {for our parents} in 6 months!  Last Saturday, we celebrated Baby Boy Rodgers with a Red Wagon-themed shower...it was a BLAST!

Guests shared their best parenting advice by writing it in these red wagon picture books.  What a great keepsake for Sarah and Baby Rodgers!

We also asked guests to address their own 'thank you' notes to help out the soon-to-be momma.

The 'sweets' table took the cake.  LITERALLY.  It was filled with all sorts of sugary goodness.

The iced beverage station included: vintage Big Red {of course!}, blue Jones Soda, mimosas, punch, water with cucumber and bottled water.

The coffee station was the perfect place for one of our miniature Radio Flyer wagons!

We served breakfast burritos, artichoke cups, chicken-minis, mixed fruit salad, candied bacon and mini muffins {hello delicious calories}.  The diet started the following day.

I can't wait to meet my precious, new nephew!  I am one blessed auntie.

A "SPRINKLE" Shower

Today, we celebrated Courtney and the upcoming arrival of baby Grant.  We had a small group in a cozy, eclectic setting at Spoons Cafe in Historic Downtown McKinney.  Am I the only one that didn't know that showers after the first baby are called "sprinkle" showers? Hmmm...

Grant will be here in about 2 weeks!!!  We can't wait to meet him.  Big sisters Hannah and Lauren are going to be so excited to have a little brother around.  We love you, Court!

A Baby BOY Shower

This past Sunday, we celebrated Jenny and the upcoming arrival of her first baby, Miller.  It was a really sweet party for a very dear friend.  My parents (so generously) opened up their home and the precious hostesses worked together to pull off one very special party.  A BIG "thank you" to everyone involved!

Her nursery is blue and orange, so we decided to keep that color theme going for the shower.  With this as the inspiration, here's what we came up with:

 

 The indoor pictures are pretty dark.  I'm slowly learning more and more about my camera and thanks to Kassie (another party hostess and photographer) I learned a few new tricks for my next party!  She also recommended a different lens (that I'd like for Christmas...Scott, mom, dad...anyone?!?).  Check out her website...she's incredibly talented.

We love you, Jenny, and can't wait to meet that little guy!!!

 pretty ladies.

 the mommy-to-be of honor!

 little girls CAN'T have enough headbands...right?

 the headband station was a BIG hit!

we attached tags so that sherry would know who made them and what size they were.

 SUPER creative flower.

 PRESENT TIME!  most of our running buddies DON'T have kiddos...which made for interesting conversation and TONS of laughs!

 even baby aubrey needs a good pair of running shoes.

sweet friends.

 a "mad-lib" style words of advice card.

 we put them in a flip book so sherry would have ALL the advice she'd ever need.

It really was a perfect day celebrating Sherry and Aubrey Sue.  We can't wait to meet that sweet baby girl.  November can't get here fast enough!  We love you, Sherry.
