Its A Girl...

On Saturday, May 22nd, we had a baby shower for my sister Andrea and her soon-to-be new baby GIRL. We have been planning it for some time. Originally Krissy & I started talking about giving her a baby shower, then Kiley and Alicia mentioned they wanted to help, so us four were planning it and then a few weeks before, Jadie also said she wanted to help. We all met together and went over everything. We had such cute ideas. And because Andrea has SO many friends between working two jobs, having bunko, and then just friends she has had forever, there were a LOT of invitations to be handed out. So we decided the best thing to do was to have an open house baby shower. It worked out perfect! I wouldn't do a baby shower any other way now. I couldn't believe how well it worked out and how much better it was than a traditional baby shower.

We all went in on different food items, desserts, decorations, favors, etc. and once we got it all together, everything was SO cute! So many people complimented on how well it looked and how well everything came together. We did a guest sign-in on cute scrapbook paper, along with a guessing sheet for the babies weight and length. Those are always so much fun to look back at. As the guests came in they signed and filled out the fun stuff, then would take their gift over to Andrea, where she would open it and then we had tables set up just for the open gifts. This way everyone could see everything she got. Then everyone had food and hung around and chatted as long as they wanted. It worked out so great!

For the thank-you favors we had hershey kisses in different colors of tulle and then tied on a tag that said:

Thank you for sharing this special day,

I'm sorry I had to stay away.

But I may be a little longer,

Cause I have to grow much stronger.

Thank you for your love and wishes,

I'd like to shower you with kisses.

Love from baby Noyes.

They turned out really cute. We also did a drawing for everyone that brought a package of diapers. I think this is such a great idea also because anyone that is a mom knows how much diapers can cost and how many diapers a baby can go through in a short time. So not having to buy diapers for a while is very nice for the mommy.

Everyone brought so much cute stuff for baby Londyn. She will be one spoiled little girl. Especially with those two big sisters and big brothers. They cannot wait for the arrival of sweet little....

LONDYN NOYES (still working on a middle name) but possibly Londyn Gracee Noyes,

and neither can I.

So thanks to everyone that helped put together such a great baby shower for my wonderful sister Andrea and thanks to all her friends that came and brought such cute stuff for baby Londyn. Andrea was so excited that she had such a great turn out and so thankful to everyone that came!
