Loni’s Baby Shower

After weeks of preparation, we finally had Loni’s shower!
This great lady has 4 boys ages 3 (almost 4) to 8 years old and is finally expecting her first GIRL! 

To say that we are all excited for her would be an understatement.  She is very deserving of a party just for her.
Please excuse the picture overload and lack of quality photos.  My camera is suffering from user-error.  I’ll get it one day!
On this front table, I made this tutu skirt to dress things up.  We put thank you cards and had the guests self-address the envelopes for easy send off.

You can’t see from the picture, but then I put up a curtain between the front entry and the kitchen..just to add a little “more”.
She is naming her:

For those of you that can’t read it…it’s Evelyn.  (Eve after her mother-in-law, Lyn after her sister Lyndee and the middle name is Nae after her sister LaNae. Love)  They will call her Evie.

Taffy skewer bouquets:

Just for future reference here is a list of the food:
Cucumber sandwiches, veggie pizza, mini quiches, fruit tray, veggie tray, pita & hummus (and several other dips), cheese tray and crackers, Chicken Italiano Bites (I’m missing something…)

The Honoree.  I can’t think of a cuter girl and she is absolutely adorable PREGNANT!  Who does that?!

Congrats Loni!  Glad that we were able to honor you!

So fun!! You guys did a great job decorating! I wish I could have been there. I can't imagine how excited she must be, but the last picture sure shows some of that excitement. : )

You are too nice. You did an incredible job, btw. Also, do you mind if I copy and paste this post - I'll give you credit, but I like to publish my blog for my own "journal/scrapbook". Let me know.

Thanks again

I was so bummed I was sick and missed it. The food and decorations looks amazing, and I love the idea of making bouquets out of taffy. Too cute!
