Bates and Schmidt Shower

May 5th 2012

Today Brittany and I celebrated the upcoming babies of our friends Diane and Kim.

Together we created an absolutely beautiful baby shower. 

{at least I think so}

Everything was just how we imagined it 

{maybe even a little bit better}

What makes this all wonderful are the little 'touches':

We have 8oz plastic bottles with blue striped straws

Little chalkboards that label all the food

And clear Chinet plates and silverware

One of the games we played was 'baby word' pictionary.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Ashley Iverson on the left was drawing a Boppy, 

and Meghan Lang on the right was drawing a bottle, 

but that's as far as she was able to draw before someone guessed what it was!

 the other game we played was who could drink the most from a baby bottle in a certain amount of time

we gave them 5 oz and then allowed them 90 seconds to drink as much as they could

let's just say it was harder than they thought it would be...

Diane Schmidt, Karley Roylance and Ashley Iverson were 3 of our willing participants

{everything was adorable!}

Diane Schmidt with some of her gifts.

She was way excited about a block set that Kim gave her.

It was cute.

And finally, Karley's little girl made the rounds..

And I just thought this was a cute picture of Brittany with her.

All in all, it was a success!

Good Food. Good People. Great Games. Wonderful Gifts!

What could be better?
