Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice. That's What Little Girls are Made of.
I had the pleasure of throwing my friend Rachel, her baby shower today. Rache's baby girl is 3 weeks ahead of my little peanut. We are so excited for her arrival!!It has been a while since I did anything crafty, so it was such a blast doing it. The theme was sugar and spice (and everything nice). Therefore, the focus was more on the desserts. But the sandwiches from Meat Cheese Bread were a hit too! I had to thank my patient husband who put up with my insane, detail oriented, OCD craziness at and while planning for this party. I really hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did. Here are a few pictures, recapping the event.
The inspiration- the cutest cake ever!
My friend Krista (who's a pastry chef) did most of the baked goods shown here. Call me if you want her information.
The top was red velvet and the bottom chocolate. The shoes were made from cupcakes and icing. Adorable!
Onsies sugar cookies, lemon cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries. There were buttered short bread cookies too, but I forgot to take that picture.
Strawberry, 2%, and chocolate milk
We also served Izze sodas and store bought Italian sodas from World Market.
I made little place cards and signs to coordinate with the pink and chocolate theme.
Home made garland
Savory foods were ordered from Meat Cheese Bread in Portland. Gotta thank Q. for picking them up.

General goofiness and chit chatting. I realized by running around, I didn't get a chance to take any real portraits of the guests or of Rachel herself, aside from the top goofy picture. Sorry Rach!

Congratulations you guys!! It was really fun putting all this together. Quoc and I are really excited to meet her. Can't wait for our babies to have play dates!
Oh and here's a random picture of my sister, who visited last week and helped me make some of the decorations. Thanks, sissy.
