Baby E Shower in Mequon!

Last Thursday my mom's friends threw a ABC themed shower for baby E in Mequon.  It was fabulous! These ladies should really do this for a living (they have already done quite a few showers over the years!). Since our baby room has those awesome letters on the wall - they took that idea (and in some cases, that exact image) and ran with it.

You can see above that the banner hanging on the door has the actual letters from the room printed on it. This banner will most likely hang on the nursery door to welcome home baby E!

They used lots of blocks and letters throughout the evening - spelling out our names, beaded blocks as napkin ties, letters on name tags and party favors... even the wine/ water glass charms!

The meal kept with the theme too - you can see the menu card here. (same design as the banner out front) Each item helped to spell out Baby E (Beef tenderloin, Asparagus, Biscuits with cheddar and dill, Yellow squash and spinach salad and Eclaires for dessert! --- yummmmm!)

The games even incorporated the letter theme - check out this great diaper cake they created - stocked full of spoons, baby toys, books, diaper cream, etc.

The guests also got to take a guess at how big my belly is --- happily most guessed WAY to big - but  I am guessing these ladies were estimating with my feelings in mind and didn't want to guess too small!

Here I am taking the actual measurement to determine the winner!

Mom made a beautiful baby quilt for us - creating a softer place for the baby to lay and play in our family room. Isn't it beautiful?! I love the bright funky colors and the old school fabric design. Definitely kid friendly, but doesn't scream baby so it can be used for years to come!  

Here are the Swenson ladies - Lisa and the boys planned a visit so she could come to the shower as well. So happy they could make the trip!

And here are the ladies responsible for this lovely evening. These are Mom's friends from high school. The Grandma-to-be sits out of the planning for her child's shower so it is fun surprise for the whole family.

Thanks again ladies it was a wonderful evening - we are so blessed :)
