A Baby Shower for Kimberly!

This afternoon I got to help host a shower for my friend Kimberly, who is having her third boy.  Wahoo!!

I never thought I would be the type to host a baby shower, but with an awesome group of ladies, it’s so much fun!  I really had it easy on this one too.  I pretty much just showed up with a bunch of jars.  :)

Baby Eli’s nursery is all Texan, so we ran with that theme!

Candice made the awesome paper decorations using her silhouette.  (I did help a little with that by going over to house and helping cut and paste and giving opinions.)

Theresa had the great idea of using simple daisies as decorations.  I can’t remember whose idea it was to use the canning jars, but I sure was happy to use my stash!!

Isn’t this diaper cake awesome?!!  Theresa found the hat and boots at Hobby Lobby – the hat is a bank!  The middle tier of diapers are those jeans ones by Huggies.  TOO CUTE!

I love jars.

You can learn all kinds of interesting things helping to host a baby shower.  Like that lemons float in water but limes sink.  Who’da thunk, right?

I love watching people open presents.  :)

Doesn’t Kimberly look so precious?!!

I don’t think everybody signed in – it was a great group!

I did a terrible job of taking pictures of the guests.  Mostly I caught people blinking, scratching, or with their mouths open.

Oh well!

It was such a fun party and such a great reason to get together.  Congratulations Kimberly!

I’ll update this post when I get the group shot from Shaun.  My lens doesn’t zoom out enough for a group picture in the house.
