A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Babyshower

This is going to be a long post, but it is all pictures with descriptions.


My older sister Prairie Princess hosted my baby shower (she planned everything only asking my preference for things). She ordered the invitations off of here i don't have a picture of those. She came into town for a special visit just for the shower and we had a really good time with lots of friends.


The picture below is of our party favors. Its a "Candy Bar" we bought little boxes and a bunch of different kinds of candy which we put into different size wine glasses.


The next 2 pictures are of the gift table, there were so many and we really appreciate how generous everyone was. It was a lot of thank you cards that had to be written, it took me forever!



I decided cupcakes would be better then cake, so we had strawberry cupcakes with pink and yellow frosting flowers on top. My dad even helped decorate them.




The party was in the middle of the afternoon so we made a few finger foods that were easy to eat

The theme was pink and yellow so we did pink lemonade with lemon slices in it.




We had 3 games but only have pictures of this one (you hold a paper plate on your head and try to draw a baby, you are not allowed to look until time is up)

Opening gifts





Everyone was so generous, and it was fun getting to spend time with Jason's mom (we had never really spent time together before) after it was over we had a nice family dinner with some of our closest friends (who we consider family). Its hard to believe it was almost a year ago (December 5Th)



*** To add a little note, the camera cord has been found, there are lots of pictures to come from the last couple of months.
