Baby Shower Success!!

This is it, after moving into our new house just 3 weeks ago, having Addison's 1st birthday party two weekends ago, and my sister-in-law's baby shower yesterday, Jenn's even planning is closed for the summer! I had so much fun planning both parties, but it was a lot of work to make them each special and unique using the same theme and having them so close to each other and so soon after moving. It will be nice to not make any plans for this weekend and see what happens.

The baby shower was a huge success, and I'm sure the momma to be had a blast. The weather was really nice, not too hot or cold, and my house was just big enough for the 20+ guests that attended. So here's what happened:

The day started out with presents for Addison, Great Grandma Doreen brought a birthday present!
It was so thoughtful for her to bring a gift, unfortunately Addie already has this car, so we'll have to exchange it later.

Decor! Here is the clothesline I made for Jackie, there is so much work involved in getting baby things ready, I helped the momma out by removing all the tags, washing and ironing everything in advance for her.

Here are the prizes for the games. 1st winner gets to pick 1st!

And with Aunt Nancy and cousin Megan too!

I was so happy it wasn't too crowded for everyone in the livingroom... We need to invest in smaller furniture that fits this room ASAP!
