Showers of Blessings

The baby shower for Nikki went really well today!! There was a great turnout and she received so many nice things for Delanci!!! Leila somehow managed to get a few gifts too!!! Can we just say SPOILED:)

We had the shower in the "tea room" of Conestogas before they actually opened!!! Nikki had mentioned doing a brunch so thats what we did!!!! There was tons of yummy food--- we had breakfast casserole, muffins, pastries, fresh fruit, banana and pumpkin bread as well as pumpkin cheesecake!!!!!

We decorated by filling pumpkins with bright pink, orange and yellow fresh flowers! It was really pretty!! In between the big pumpkins we placed small baby pumpkins to add to the table. Very easy yet very pretty at the same time!!

I found some cute pumpkin baskets at the dollar store that I used to place the silverware as well as favors in. Each person took home a cute pumpkin sugar cookie that we baked!!!!

We played a few games and the winners took home a Paula Deen pumpkin jar candle to go right along with our theme!!!!

It was such a cute and fun shower and many thanks to all who helped me pull it off!!! Normally our sister Mandi is the big "event coordinator " in our family... she had been sooooo busy with all of the get togethers for Dillan lately that I thought I would step in and help out with the shower for Nikki. I think it went really good and I can't wait to meet our new little pumpkin soon!!!!!!

Maybe I will get around to posting some pictures of the day sometime soon??!!!!

Everything was perfect....it doesn't hurt to have another coordinator in the family :) Thanks again for all you did to make the shower so special to us.
