Lullaby and Goodnight Baby Shower

Erin is my only sister, so despite throwing two parties in one day, I knew I wanted to give her the best baby shower. This is her first and she is having a girl! We are so excited, we kind of think that girls are the best. 

I was really proud of how the party turned out. I didn't consult pinterest for the theme or decorations at all- I like coming up with my own ideas!  I did find some ideas online for the desserts, but all from different sources. I don't know, I just feel like I have to claim this since we live in a time when it seems every idea has already been taken. I can be happy about it, right? 

But I can't take all the credit for everything. My mom did SO MUCH for this, including the funding and baking. Buck constructed a fake window and tree. Carrie gave me the best idea for the letter blocks you will see. My aunt Rachelle cut the fruit. I could never do it all on my own. I just like to come up with ideas and then hire out the work. ;)

Okay. That's enough rambling about this baby shower. Here are the photos! 

"Lullaby and Goodnight" baby shower.


Lavender cupcakes to calm everyone. These had real ground up lavender in them and a honey cream cheese frosting. They were amazing Oh and p.s. my mom also made all the super cute food signs!

Sheep cookies. (again, my mom is amazing)

I wanted something bed time-ish so we had a spin on warm milk and toast. We had English muffins with butter and jam and some with ham and cheese. Then we had milk steamers (warm milk with flavoring.)

Star kiwis and moon pineapples. And homemade marshmallow clouds.

We had a good turn out of people and crammed quite a few souls into my little house.

Congrats to my sister! This baby is one lucky little girl to have her as her mom!

Thank you for the pictures! It all looks amazing! I'm still wondering what we gave her, though...

Both of these parties turned out so cute and I love how you were able to use some of the same decor at both, yet get totally different looks.
