Lori's Baby Shower

Well the day finally came where we got to celebrate the soon arrival of little baby L. Since Lori and her hubby Dave have decided to keep the name of this baby girl a secret/surprise we just refer to her as either baby girl or baby L. Lori's best friend Jaime from college, her sister in law Lisa, her mom Sharon and myself all worked together to plan a beautiful pink and brown themed shower for Lori. We couldn't have asked for a better day as it was beautiful here with temperature getting only to the upper 70's with lots of sunshine. The shower started at 2pm but, Lisa, Jaime, Sharon and even the soon to be momma showed up around 1pm to help get everything ready. Everything work out as planned probably even better than planned and Lori made out like a bandit with all the gifts.

How it all began!

I ordered the cake from Sarah's Cafe and it turned out GREAT!! It was just as I had pictured it, the outside was pink icing with chocolate brown fondant polka dots and the inside was 4 layers, yes, you read that correctly 4 layers of chocolate cake with almond icing in between each layer!

We of course had WAY too much food, but it was all delicious. We had chicken salad sandwiches on dollar rolls, home-made banana bread, fruit, spinach dip, mini quiches, and white pizza dip all along with punch and cake.


The party favors were probably one of the most fun for me to plan. I found the cutest little glass jars online that I filled with M & M's.

I also made some really cute pacifier cookies as well. I tried to take a picture of them but for some reason they picture didn't turned out very well. I got the idea from another blog I read called designergirl007

I also got a matte that we had everyone sign with a note to baby L, I wish I would have taken a picture of that once it was all signed it turned out really cute. Lori can take a picture of baby girl once she is born and place it in the matte surrounded with all that loving words from everyone here at the shower today, get it framed and hang it in her room.
