Baby showers are funny things.  They are kind of like a party where you make a list of things you like and then you act surprised when you open your gifts as if you didn’t know what your friends and family would get you.  This is the reason Alex tells me she will only have one more shower with her next baby and only if it is a girl.  Don’t get me wrong, it is so helpful to receive so many blessings from others and I guess it makes life a whole lot easier for the gift giver to not have to try and guess what the expectant mother might like.

I did my part to buy as many of the registry items as possible but I ended up feeling like I needed to add something handmade and with so little time to make something I ended up adding this little embroidered burp cloth.  It went together in a jiffy and after a day of getting shower decorations together it was so nice to sit and do a teenie bit of hand embroidery.

I love that it matched the bunting and decorations from the shower.  Did you see the baby shower yesterday?  I hope you will visit.  Oh and I guess I just leaked the babies name hehe.

Yesterday was a wonderful day at Alexandra’s in laws home.  What a beautiful setting to have a party.  Lots of food, friends and fun.

All that Alex gave to go with at first for a theme was that she wanted it to be mint colored.  At first I thought, mint does not make a theme.  Then I remembered my shower when I was pregnant with her and guess what?  My color was mint also, could she possibly have known that?  Full circle… full circle!

Chevron has been my favorite design lately so mint and white/grey chevron it is.  Sweet and simple.

The shower games were guess the messy diaper (guess what chocolate bar is melted inside the diaper) and Hands Full (momma has to hang the laundry on the line while holding a baby in one arm and the basket in the other).  Lots of fun and laughter was had by all.

So many presents where showered upon her, it makes my momma’s heart so very happy and also so very grateful to our friends and family.  For today we rest, and tomorrow we jump back in with projects, lots of farm work and laundry.
