Over the weekend a few of my close friends hosted a really great shower to help welcome Carson! It was nice and small with my closest friends and I had so much fun and Carson is already so spoiled!
First I'll share the most important part (in a pregnant woman's eyes)...the yummy
food! I have a few links for recipes following the pictures!
 |
| The spread...mini cupcakes, pasta salad, chips, pretzels, crackers & cheese, veggie pizza, apple salad...yum! |
 |
| Apple Salad*...one of my favs and it's SO simple to make! |
 |
| mini cupcakes with adorable toppers! |
 |
| delicious lemon cookies! |
 |
| Veggie Pizza*, delicious! |
 |
| adorable punch....the perfect balance of sweet and tart! |
If you're interested in the recipe for the apple salad (which I know you are), check out my friend
Ashley's blog. She is awesome in the kitchen and has a huge variety of recipes on her blog!
If the veggie pizza interests you, check out the simple recipe
here!
Now some of the adorable
decor. (Links for some of the decorations are below the pictures!)
 |
| 1 of 2 banners* my friends made for me! |
 |
| super fun pom poms! I might hang these in my classroom! |
 |
| A banner that matches my invitiations! :) |
 |
| super fun diaper cake with sports duckies, Nick loved it! |
 |
| diaper wreath with Carson's initial, love it! |
A lot of these decorations were made by my friend Lindsey.
She has an Etsy shop and I highly suggest you check it out if you're hosting a shower or throwing a party anytime soon! She is super crafty and can do custom orders! Here are some of the items from my shower:
Name Banner,
Diaper Wreath,
Diaper Cake,
Cupcake Toppers.
