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.

baby shower preparations

As I type this, I am sitting on the couch taking a five minute, after midnight breather from all the projects for Alexandra’s baby shower.  I have finished the cake topper, most of the decorations for the party and the candy favors are all sewn up (yes I said sewn).   The cake is baked but not frosted or decorated but I am contemplating doing the decorations after the sun comes up.  My back is starting to hurt and my eyes are burning but I am excited to see Alexandra’s face tomorrow as we celebrate the coming of our first grandchild.  She picked the theme and gave me lots of pictures for inspiration and we rolled with it.

In the morning I will put the pork to roast and make rice.  Alexandra made the beans last night before she headed home with Lewis.   Her favorite food since she stared eating solid food has been beans and rice so that is what she wanted to serve at her shower.  There are lots and lots of hor deurves to make and decorating to do in the barn tomorrow but right now I will leave you with a couple of picture previews to the party.

I will be back Monday morning with all the party details and pictures!!  See you then.
