My Surprise Baby Shower...

My wonderful sister threw me a surprise baby shower on Sunday and it was absolutely beautiful! She has secretly morped into Martha Stewart's hidden twin and left nothing undone - she hand stamped the invitations AND EVEN the thank you cards!









She made all of the food; the menu included chicken salad on croissants, turkey sandwiches, pasta salad, fruit salad, chips, veggie platter, pickles, homemade punch (spiker was available at request:-))and of course, a beautiful cake!

She had primrose plants as table toppers and door prizes and the decorations were so cute with balloons, daffodils, banners, and hanging lanterns. She had pink M&M's and snackmix throughout, pink hershey kisses wrapped in cute netting for each guest. She had cute baby feet stamped on the back of the placemats for the lucky winner to take the table top plant.

Then, she had some baby themed scratch off lottery tickets for "door prizes" which were cute little hurricane candle lamps.

She also created a scrapbook which she had displayed along with Jadyn's referral picture right when the guests walked in so they could write a message to Jadyn - they are such treasured messages! She told me that I have to give it back though because she is not done with it yet:)

We received such wonderful gifts and truly appreciate everyone taking the time out of their day to share in the joy of bringing our daughter home! I know that there were some family and friends who also were not able to be with us, but we know they were there in spirit and we appreciate their love and support!



A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to my sister, Kathy! You're the greatest sis in the world and you've always been a fantastic Auntie and I know you will be adored by Jadyn, too!

Thank you to all who attended, sent their gift, or participated in our day simply in spirit - we truly feel blessed and overwhelmed by all of the love and support from all of you!!!
