A Baby Shower/Sprinkle for Momma & Aubrey

We had our baby shower this past Saturday and it was absolutely lovely. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law did such a great job - from the food to the decorations…everything - it was all so amazing! The theme was a Baby Sprinkle Brunch, as opposed to a baby shower, where guests came and “sprinkled” us with love and gifts - get it?

Several friends and family also helped make this party so amazing, so I really just want to step back and say thank you to everyone that helped. Brett even made the cupcakes…how could he not, he is the cupcake king! But seriously, it was such a nice thing to do for us and Aubrey and I am so appreciative of all of it. We felt extremely loved and were glad everyone came together to celebrate.

Cute invites (they got them from Tiny Prints).

Before the party started and guests arrived, I had to grab Trent, the new big brother, to take a photo. I can’t wait for him to meet his little sister.

In the living room was this beautiful set-up, complete with umbrellas, rain drops, clouds and a sun…and pretty flowers.

How cute are Aubrey’s initial letters on the table?

The cutest little pink rain boots, flowers and baby girl duckies.

There was definitely no shortage of food. There was a yogurt parfait bar with granola and yummy fruit.

Mini quiches and biscotti.

Cupcakes scattered everywhere. Our wonderful friend Karey made the cloud cut-outs for the cupcakes. Aren’t they adorable?

The cupcakes Brett made were white cake with strawberry filling and pink cream cheese frosting. Yum.

Let’s head into the kitchen/dining room, shall we?

MORE FOOD!

Fluffy croissants with buffalo chicken dip, egg salad and chicken salad.

Egg rings.

Variety of cheeses on the most beautiful cheese and fruit tray ever.

Monkey bread and a frenchtoast bake with bananas, strawberries and coconut.

Party platter, chips and more scattered cupcakes!

Drinks and cinnamon rolls.

The big hit of the party was the iced coffee bar! Complete with plenty of flavored creamers, sugars, syrups, chocolate and whipped cream. I definitely went over my caffeine limit for the day…it was so good! I even borrowed a Turvis cup from my niece to bring some home!

Flowers everywhere.

We loved these vases with the cut-up lemons and limes in them..such a great idea!

This is what happens when there’s an iced coffee bar and everyone’s had a little too much caffeine.

Trent refused to eat much of anything up until this point, but then he stood behind me and ate an entire plate of food while I opened gifts. He did so well!

My sister-in-law got Aubrey some of the cutest Disney princess outfits and bows…expect Aubrey to be wearing those in photos soon! It also may force me to reconsider how long we wait to go back to WDW…haha.

So omg…this box…

I thought it was real. Even when the people that gave it to us said there was something else in the box, I still asked “So that means someone gave this to you to begin with?” I just was amazed that this was a real thing and someone would buy it for someone else.

But apparently it’s just a gag box…phew…thank goodness!!

More princess photo props! I think we still need more!

Karey also made this adorable canvas photo for everyone to put their fingerprints and initials on, with some notes on the back. She is such a good artist.

Waiting for Miss Aubrey!

Family of three, soon to be family of four

Trent fell asleep in the car on the ride home…I wanted to too! It was a fun day and I’m glad to spend time with family and friends. <3
