Last Saturday, Mailin, Rebekah and I hosted a shower for our best friend Natasha and her little bundle of joy, Declan. I'm so thankful Natasha and her husband are able to come visit for a month each Christmas and this time was an added bonus since we got to meet Declan (2 months old). Since we were not able to throw Natasha a shower before Declan's arrival, we took the opportunity while they were in town to throw a shower so friends and family could "shower" them with money and a couple easily packable items to use back home (we decided it was earlier to transport money rather than toys and other bulky items). Rebekah was gracious to let us use her place for the party and Mailin was a life saver with her adorable decorations and creativity.
The food table - cupcakes and quiche (both from Sam's), fruit, chicken nuggets, hot bacon dip with bread & crackers, and turtle cookies.
Elephant cupcake toppers - one of Mailin's creations.
Declan's name banner. Mailin came up with the idea to hang paper onesies so guests could write a note on the onesie and hang their money/card with it.
