Last weekend, we had a baby shower at my mom's house for my cousin's (Scott) wife, Ashley! The theme was a holiday theme since my mom's house was decorated for Christmas. Scott and Ashley are due at the end of January with baby boy Hudson. Ian is excited to have another little boy in the family!
My mom was an angel during the shower and took care of Ian so I could help the other hostesses. Fortunately, he slept during a majority of the festivities. Here is a cute pic of mom and Ian (actually taken at the end of the shower...precipitating my question above).
Mom and I made a couple of diaper creations to help decorate. The first was a Christmas diaper wreath. You can't tell too well from the pic, but all fo the goodies were red and green.
We also made a diaper snowman...similar to a diaper cake! It was adorable and a big hit...perfect for the theme. Our refreshments included a Butternut Squash Soup with Apple Cream sauce and Rotisserie Chicken Salad sandwiches on croissants. Everything was super-delish!
As a little keepsake for Ashley, everyone wrote advice for her and baby Hudson on decorative river rocks to fill a glass apothecary jar.
If you'll remember when Ashley helped host my first baby shower, everyone signed a book instead of a card. This was SUCH a great idea because Ian has a bookshelf filled with awesome books! We did the same for Ashley, and she scored a great collection as well!
Here is a pic of all of the hostesses with Ashley

Go to your settings and change to the updated editor. This upgrade will let you drag and drop pics wherever you want. I can't remember which tab it is under, but just go through them all and you will find it. Let me know if you can't figure it out.
