Showering Babies

The Sunday after the ballet performance, I had the privilege of helping give a shower for three friends. We decided to give them all a shower at one time, because they were all due within a month of each other, they're all in our Sunday School class, and they were all having girls! My friend, Annette, and I strived to make it very unique and special for each of them. It was a drop-in shower, so we only had light refreshments.

Instead of paying an arm and leg for three baby shower cakes, we decided to do these cupcake towers. One for each mommy! We decorated the cupcakes with the first initial of each baby's name and then did the toppers (see below).

Needless to say, Annette and I were covered in cupcake icing and colors all day Saturday and Sunday.

Annette made this beautiful baby buggy fruit bowl!

Lest you think we're talented...I think it helped that we both shared brain cells on this one and did a lot of brain storming. We used the pink/brown motif which is "in" but which I think is really pretty. I pray that the expectant moms enjoyed all the aspects of the shower and felt their babies were welcomed in to this world as a blessing by us and their friends and family who came.

I'll post what I made for each of them on my other website! I so enjoy doing the burp cloths and nursing covers and the moms seemed excited about receiving them and using them.
