Showered With Love

Having super creative friends is such a blessing, especially when they plan a baby shower. With so many beautiful babies born in the last few months, our Sunday School class was in danger of being shower overwhelmed! But leave it to Rebecca and Erica to make an incredible theme and carry it to the next level! This baby shower was just a bit different since it was a double shower for both myself and good friend Nikki who is expecting her fourth child. We are both due within a few days of each other and both expecting boys and since we both love sports, Rebecca came up with a cute baseball theme. Not just a baseball theme, an amazing transformation of her living room into an adorable slice of Americana.

Delicious Nacho bar complete with chili, shredded chicken, cheese and every other possible topping! Even Jeff was jealous of the great food we had.

Cream soda and strawberry soda out of glass bottles, of course.

No detail was overlooked and even the decorations were edible. Peanuts, tootsie rolls and marshmallow baseballs in a jar of baked bean candies.

Instead of a cake, Rebecca made wonderful mini cheesecakes out of respect for my Gestational Diabetic diet! She even found a way to make them fit the theme:)

I am constantly overwhelmed by the generosity of friends and family.

Mom and Aunt Linda came to enjoy the festivities as well.

Even the favors were adorable, cracker jacks, Baby Ruth candy bars and little satchels made from baseball fabric. But the most impressive thing on the table to me were the baseballs. Instead of each guest signing a guestbook for the baby book, everyone signed a baseball that I get to display for Elijah. I can't wait for the doctor to sign it as well. What an amazing idea and truly a memorable shower.
