So I hosted my second baby shower of the year this past weekend for my sister in law. I hosted the shower with my other sister in law, Trisha and my good friend, Jessica.
Since I am so OCD, I started making my lists months ago! Katrina is decorating Baby Gracie's room in a lavender jungle theme so the brainstorming began!
We had the shower at my husband's hometown church so the venue was taken care of.
I saw these
centerpieces online and I emailed my mom to ask her to help me with them! *Sidenote: I have to brag on my talented and sweet mom! Not only did she cook me an amazing dinner a couple of weeks ago (chicken and dumplings, sweet potatoes, lima beans, and corn bread), she is also very skilled at laundry! Thomas was bragging on her last weekend when we were in Blairsville because he came home with no dirty clothes!* So when I emailed her about helping, she immediately started tinkering around in Microsoft Word.
And so this is what we came up with...

| Yes, my dad was watching the golf channel! |
We had the church reserved for the AM so we decided to do a breakfast.
I got the invitations from VistaPrint! I was very happy with the way they turned out...I am not going to post a picture obviously but they can be found
here. Since this is Katrina's first baby, she really wanted diapers, so we had a diaper raffle. Each person that brought a pack of diapers was entered into a raffle to win a gift certificate.
Here are some pictures of the shower

| I ordered the cake from Wal-Mart and was really pleased! It was very cute and actually tasted amazing! |

I can't wait until August 1st (hopefully sooner) to welcome Gracie into the world! This is my first time actually being an Aunt before the baby is born! I am so excited for Daniel and Katrina...I know they are going to be great parents and Gracie is going to be one spoiled little girl! Aunt Kala and Uncle Thomas can't wait to meet you, Gracie!
