Celebrating Baby Ava

Yesterday I hosted a babyshower for my friend, Kimberly. Kimberly and her husband, Kirk, are expecting their 3rd...that's right, 3rd....baby girl in early to mid June. You definately know who's going to be the odd man out in that house! LOL! Kimberly and I have been best friends since 7th grade, so I was delighted to do this for her.

This was the spread for the shower! I tried to keep everything with a pink, blue, and white color scheme for our "SUGAR & SPICE" theme! We had fruit kabobs (bananas, grapes & strawberries), marshmallow pops, ham & cheese and turkey & cheese kabobs, cotton candy muffins, doughnuts, vanilla cupcakes with strawberry frosting, and chocolate cupcakes with blue & pink buttercream frosting!

While everyone was eating, we let Kirk open his gift. I put together a "Daddy Doody Kit" for Kirk; just in case! LOL! I think he thought I was a little crazy, but it was all in good fun! :)

Kirk's "Daddy Doody Kit" included:

-Advil

-Hand Sanitizer

-Baby Wash

-Baby Bottle

-Diapers

-Paci's

-Goggles

-Face Masks

-Tongs

-Baby Washcloths

-Baby Socks

-Baby Wipes

-Clothes Pin

-Baby Spoons

-Baby Food

Next, it was time to open the gifts for baby Ava! Big Sister, Makenzie was such a super helper. She helped her mommy with EVERY gift and she was ready for her picture to be taken with the gifts.

How gorgeous is this blanket?! Kimberly's grandmother handstitched this for baby Ava!

The mommy-to-be opening her gifts!

The happy family!! I think Makenzie was eXtRa happy! :)

We decided to snap a few family photos and a photo of the shower guests with our guest of honor!

And of course, my momma had to get one of me and Kim! We've been friends for so long! She was there when Jeremy was born, she called from Vegas the day Taylor was born; I'm happy to do anything I can for her and her babies!!

Congratulations Kimberly & Kirk!!!
