Hadley's baby shower encore post


A couple of James' family members have requested that I post Hadley's baby shower post on my own blog. If you've seen it via my sister's blog feel free to keep on moving. My sister decided to do a sweets and treats baby shower for me since a majority of my pregnancy I've been craving yummy desserts. As part of her plan she needed a skilled pastry chef and she knew the perfect person for the job. 

 Insert Jen (and Max grabbing her hair). We grew up 2 houses down from her and have watched (via her blog) her baking skills evolve. She lives in Colorado right now so she asked her if she was available for a trip home to do some baking and thankfully she was!
 We came up with a list of desserts that were also color coordinated with the shower colors. She did a phenomenal job prepping, baking and having everything ready on time. I wish you could have tasted everything, it was amazing. Not only did they look so good, they were incredibly tasty.
 Since Hadley's nursery colors are a fuchsia pink and yellow we decided to embrace it with our dress colors.
My Aunt Kathy helped host the shower and we used her beautiful house (look at the pretty trees in the back yard). Max of course had to be dressed up with his new collared shirt and overalls. 
 If baking wasn't enough work for Jen S, she also made some adorable decorations for the shower. She really is a great friend. We can't thank her enough!
 Of course we had to have a tutu diaper cake!
 I  had my brother in law, sister in law, James' grandma and uncle make the trip from out of town. It was so great to see them all and have them join in her special shower.
 My sister Jen made 2 lemonade type punches to match our color scheme with cute straws.
Check out all these desserts. 
 There were cream puffs, strawberry angel food cake cups, yellow and pink sugar cookies, jelly cookies, cupcake, chocolate cake balls, lemon cookies, and lemon squares.


The cake balls were my favorite!
 So glad my grandma could come to the shower. 
 We had yummy food brought by our relatives. 

 We played a matching candy bar game to go with the theme. 
 Unfortunately, we forgot to take staged pictures of guests so these will have to do!

 Kacy must have gotten the answers wrong by the look on her face lol :) (sorry kacy, had to post this pic, its the only one I got of you at the shower!)
 I received so many wonderful gifts for baby girl Hadley. Of course one of our favorites was this Georgia Southern cheerleading uniform for Hadley (from Jen S- so thoughtful).




The tutu on the diaper cake doubled as a birthday gift for Delilah. She looked so cute in it (mom made this one too).  I'm so glad we could all get together for Michelle's shower. I can't wait for Hadley to get here. Thanks again to everyone for coming! 

Hadley Emilia's Nursery Inspirations

I'll also do an encore post of the pictures of Hadley's nursery inspirations in case you missed that too. 

 So we've ordered the crib bedding and I did my best to do a mock up, I wish I had programs to make it better. So here's what we've settled on. The bedding won't be in until after she's born, but we will be moving when she's about a month old (tops).

The new house we are most likely buying has really nice chair rails (the panel ones you see in dining rooms) so that will go really nice our pink, yellow, and white theme.



The yellow walls, pink and white bedding/room accents we are modeling it after

my poorly done mock up, but you get the idea

So what do you think??
