Madison's Baby Shower

Thank goodness Maddie allowed us to have her baby shower over the weekend, and did not make her debut.  I wanted to go with a shabby chic theme, and Ashley wanted something simple since it is her second child.  I think we achieved just that with a small brunch Saturday morning.  I love brunch and it was really nice getting the shower done early in the day, but we had to work hard Friday night and get up early Saturday morning.  I did not take as many pictures as I would have liked, but when you are hosting it takes the back burner. 

I used milk glass for the decor, and I found the cute 

                                            birdcage at Hobby Lobby and added the moss and
                                             flowers myself.

I used the my china that was handed down

to me from my mother in law to serve the food,

and the tea cups were perfect for

the fruit salad with vanilla yogurt..  I made the

food labels with card stock and scrap booking paper

The food spread and beverage table

My sister has been craving cake pops from the Almond Tree,

and after tasting them I know why.

As a gift for everyone (or to have as dessert at the shower)

my mom and I made homemade peach pies in a jar.  I made the cute

little tags and I think they turned out great if I do say

so myself :)

Here is the beautiful mom-to-be

Here we are together, it has been so special

experiencing being pregnant together, and

she has provided so much advice and support.

She is still hanging in there, and we are expecting Maddie any day now.  She has been having contractions every 10 minutes since last night, so she is just waiting for them to be 5-7, and we are heading to the hospital.  I will keep you all posted!
