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.

    What's the best type of baby gear to put on your baby-shower registry? While there are no hard-and-fast rules, some things are worth keeping in mind as you. thanks
