Simple Birthday Pennants

Two of our kids have birthdays at the beginning of July, so 'tis the season to decorate. I made three of these simple pennant banner things. They liven up the place and make it feel festive. :)

I just cut a bunch of triangles out of construction paper and sewed them together in a rainbow pattern. I love all the bright colors.

Baby Girl Shower

I co-hosted a baby shower today. But I am totally kicking myself because I didn't take any pictures of the actual shower! I didn't even think about my camera during it. Anyway, we had a great time and everything turned out wonderfully.

I have pictures of a few of the things that I did for it (banner, invitations, etc) because I took these before the shower. I made a few flower arrangements too. But the food was amazing (my friend and co-host was the mastermind for that). We had souffle, muffins, fruit, and juice. Yum! We played a couple of games and she opened presents. We got to "oooo" and "awww" over the cute baby girl things.

Baby Shower

This is the mother-of-honor and her mom and '2nd' mom.

My friend MaryAnn and I hosted a baby shower today for our friend Kimberly, who is expecting her second baby. It was a lot of fun to put together.

The food

We did a teddy bear theme so we had chocolate covered cinnamon bears, cinnamon bears,
chocolate covered gummy bears, gummy bears, teddy grahams, straw'bearies', and some other candies and fruit and dip. I made that banner.

We had this at the door so they knew which room we were in. It had the papers for our first couple of games (one of the games was guessing the candies in the jars). I also arranged those flowers (they were left over from my sister-in-laws wedding last week shhh don't tell).

We decorated with teddy bears all over the place.

These were the invitations - but I smudged out personal information.

One of the games was thinking of famous bears.

One game was guessing how many candies there were in a bottle, sippy cup and baby food jar.

We coordinated all the papers to be teddy bears and blue and brown.

MaryAnn did this game about child 'bearing' stories. It was a lot of fun.
