Showered with Love {Baby Crofford's Stork Themed Shower}

Another fabulous shower to celebrate the arrival of Baby C coming in a month!! Connie and Carrie did not forget about any detail and I LOVED all of their creative decorations for the stork themed shower. It really is a blessing to have so many people love your little one and they have not even met them yet. They really did not forget about any detail, from the bottle candles to the bow tie on the stork cake. They thought of everything and I felt so loved by how much time and hard work they put into everything! 

The delicious food!

Connie and Carrie made this precious cake!

Baby Crofford's First Shower

Baby Crofford had their first shower this weekend. My friends Ashley and Leah came up from Lexington to join in the festivities and I was so excited to catch up with them. My friends Brittany and Tiffiany threw the shower for me and they did such a great job!! No detail was left out and it was a precious Jungle themed showered with pinterest ideas all over :) My friends did such a great job with making me and the babe feel extra special! I had such a great time getting to catch up with friends I do not get to all that often and it was really nice that everyone had someone to talk to. I loved that everyone could start up conversations with new people and by the end of the party everyone was chit chatting away. My friends crack me up so it we had lots of laughs and I beyond thankful for all of their friendships.

The food was great!

Precious!

O how Ashley cracks me up! Her gift was in a big babies r us bag and she forgot that she had threw some other stuff in the bag. You can see towards the bottom of the photo Ashley had a pile of papers (including her tax return) that she left in the bag lol 

Ashley really had us all laughing when she told me about the second gift that she was giving me. It is the below hooded towel. She said she found it at her condo and was not sure who it belongs to (since their are no little kids in her family) so she decided to give it to me. We all laughed really hard at Ashley telling us about the gift. Leah politely told Ashley that she really did not need to tell us that she had it laying around her condo :) My friends are so funny!

The precious pinterest inspired gifts. Each guess signed the onesie in the middle (I'm going to take this to my other showers and to the hospital for people to sign) and also you signed your name on the silhouette you thought the baby is. Loved how creative and thoughtful my friends are!

I am really excited about the child's bible! I have heard that is really does help children understand the bible in an easy way. One of my other friends got me a baby book to record all the fun memories throughout our little ones life. I was just talking to Carrie about this so I am really glad someone bought it for me :) 

Baby things are the cutest!

So blessed that these women are in Baby Crofford's life!

Celebrating Emery Lee

When your friend finds out her second child is going to be an itty bitty girl the only natural thing to do is to throw her a shower and give her lots of cute girly clothes. I had a great time surprising Ashley, making gifts for Emery, and catching up with friends :)

We made Emery some hair accessories

Two friends with birthdays a month a part, having babies a month a part :) 

Celebrating Lyle Arthur {the details}

The decorations

Can you tell anything different about these streamers? They are ruffled and two colors! The idea came from here. They took longer than I thought {since I'm not very good at sewing} but looked really cool. Not sure I will do them again though :)

The monkeys hanging from the streamers {and the other cut outs} came from my friend Theresa's cricut {she always tells me I should get one, but then I would not have any excuse to stop by ;)}

The banner said Lyle Arthur. You can download it here

The Food

Strawberries stuffed with cheesecake! These were AMAZING! Super easy too. I did not have the tool she uses so I just cut the strawberries with a knife

These were suppose to be lions and monkeys. They were suppose to look like these {Jen they were harder than they looked :)} but we tried our best 

O how I love stripped straws now! They raised the price a little since my friend Jen bought them {now 8 cents a piece :)} but they are still a killer deal. Thanks for sharing Jen!!

The Games

 I love games that are sentimental. Kyle's answers were priceless, the Campbell's love UC and the Crofford's love UK.

The Favors

Ryan loves Star Wars so when I saw this cute idea I knew I had to do it.

The Gifts

I used this tutorial and this one for these cute onesies! Since I am not very experienced in sewing, I sewed some of them {well really Connie did it :)} and then ironed on the other ones.

This idea came from here. I cut the letters out of UC fabric {1/8 yard would be plenty} and then glued them onto grey card stock paper, it turned out better than I thought :)
