The invitations that S made were in a pink and brown theme, so we carried that through on balloons, paper cups, napkins and other decorations.
I re-painted the cradle that I used for all of my six kids and M plans to use it. We put her gifts in the cradle.
S's gift was a diaper cake. Isn't it cute? I'd say that's probably enough diapers for about two days...! We served muffins, mixed fruit and a yummy dip with apple juice to drink.
It was such a lovely day that we began the festivities on the back deck. A short rainstorm moved us inside later.
Some of the family contributed to the most comfortable chair for a new mom (or dad) that I've ever sat in. It's a glider with ottoman that also reclines. M loves it!
So does S!
I loved watching M enjoy the gifts and attention. It doesn't seem that long ago it was me with the big tummy, oohing and aahing at the presents which were almost all pink!
Most new moms like advice from other moms so moms who came to the shower answered a questionnaire titled "What do I do with this Baby??????"
It's a good thing they'll be in a bigger home soon with all the stuff they're getting!
It was a great day and M will be a wonderful mom!
