Baby Shower for Eva

I told my friends in Georgia that my husband and I had to move to a different state every time we got pregnant because our friends were getting tired of buying us baby gifts. With having our first two back to back 11 months apart, I was surprised that I actually got a baby shower for our 2nd, Veronica. But it was a lovely shower and each time we have been so blessed by the generosity of friends both new and old. I was not expecting a baby shower for Eva. She is after all the 4th baby and there are plenty of hand-me-downs to share. But my sweet friend, Amanda, here in Alabama could not resist to throw me a shower and it was such a lovely and elegant event. The girl has some awesome catering skills! The theme was Spring, just check out some of the cool things she did:

This little nest was made from Chinese noodles
dipped in chocolate with little malt Easter eggs.
It was the cake topper for my shower cake

She found some cute china at the thrift store
and made serving stands


She decorated bottles of Jones Soda with scrapbook paper
and found fabric that had bird nests on them.

She made this lovely vegetable bouquet,
not to mention a scrumptious tortellini salad

These adorable stamped bags were prizes for the games we played.

The parting gift, a flower pot with wildflower seeds.
The seeds were embedded in the thank you card.

We now have enough diapers to last at least 3 months along with wipes and some great new hooded towels, some very cute outfits so she won't be dressed all the time in hand-me-downs, and plenty of gift cards to buy the extra things we can't seem to remember at this moment. We are literally just weeks away. It's hard to believe that Eva will soon be here!
