Family/Friend Baby Shower

On Saturday, July 31, my mom and sisters gave me a baby shower. It was mainly for family and friends from high school, college, work, etc. They went "all out" as you will see from the pictures. I am lucky to have such creative sisters who love to do things like this. I am so thankful for all that they did to make the day so special. I loved it all! They need to go into the catering business--they are awesome!

This is the cute invitation that my sister Amy made:

The shower was at my sister Paula's house in Alpine. My sisters and mom met there really early that day to prepare for the event.

Amy and Emilee busily frosting sugar cookies!

Paula and my mom working on the yummy Oriental Noodle Salad that was served with some fresh pineapple and blueberries and a roll.

Even my niece Sophie got in on the action, with her apron and all!

Here is the candy buffet put together by my sister Amy. Everything was blue, yellow, or white.

Me, standing by the dessert table.

The cupcake tower! My dad build the tower for my sister Annie's wedding, so now we put it to use whenever we can!

There were chocolate cream cheese filled cupcakes.

Coconut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. These were my fav!

Vanilla with cream cheese filling. All of the cupcakes were homemade--no mixes!

The yummy blue punch and water with lemons.

Another shot of the candy buffet. The pictures are baby pictures of Scott and I. Amy has a little business and puts together candy buffets for any event. She does an awesome job!

These candies were like "sixlets". They were yummy!

Cute gummy bears in yellow and blue.

The tall container had yellow taffy and blue taffy.

There were also some mints and cute bags to put the candy in to take home.

Yummy desserts!

Sugar cookies!

There were also lemon cake bites on the dessert table and bouquets of yellow roses. I love yellow roses, they are my favorite!

They got these eclairs from BYU take out--complete with blue booties on top!

Aunt Debbie taking a turn holding Baby Emma. Can you believe it was the first time for her to see Emma? I guess Kaycee and Jason need to come visit us more often! HA HA

This is my sister Amy, the master mind behind the candy buffet.

These pictures are to show the cute "binky" tied around the glass containers. There were so cute!

Me and my friend Maria. She used to live by me and when she was single, we hung out together at all of the lovely single events. It was also through her that I met my friend Donna. Donna was her roommate, and then Donna moved in with me when Maria got married.

Enjoying the food and company!

Opening gifts, with my mom keeping track of who gave me what.

Diapers and wipes--probably can't get enough of those!

We didn't get a picture of everyone that came, so sorry! I am so thankful for great friends and family members who were able to come. It means a lot! I received a lot of nice things and I'm getting excited and a little bit nervous that I will be putting it all to use soon!
