A Family Affair

This past weekend I was blessed to be able to spend some time with my Dad's side of the family at a little gathering thrown in our soon-to-be-born baby's honor.

The littlest guest, Regan, was born two days after our wedding last fall and she's now crawling and pulling herself up to stand. She is so precious.

Mom, as usual, had the place decked out so cute. She went with a Dr. Seuss theme and she even had little favor boxes with Dr. Suess stickers on them too. She's so amazing at making things look pretty!

The shower-givers, my Auntie Ruth and cousins-in-law Paige and Risa made quite a spread of appetizers, fruits and desserts. It was all done so beautifully and it was delicious to boot!

Risa made the roasted tomato and hummus appetizer (yum!) and a pretty fruit salad while Paige made fruit and yogurt parfaits and mini cheesecake bites. Auntie brought drinks and the pound cake squares you see on the right. Everything was so good!

Mom set up a little blue themed candy and favor bar in honor of "Boo Boy" (her pet name for the baby) And Risa made those little white boxes that were filled with macaroons. My fave!

Auntie was in charge of games and she did an awesome job! We played four or five and each one was printed on half sheets of blue paper and came complete with prizes. Much laughter and learning ensued from all the games. Great job Auntie!

It was a lovely afternoon spent with all the lovely ladies on Dad's side. I am so blessed <3
Baby boy received lots of super cute clothes, a wonderful art book for children, a cd of hymn lullabies,  and some practical things like diapers and wipes too. We're getting closer and closer to being ready for his arrival thanks to people like our wonderful family.

Thank you ladies! Now off to study my nursery rhymes... ;)
