Shannie Shower...

Right after Lake Catherine Chris and I made the drive to Houston. We mainly were headed to Houston for Shannon Boyer's (my matron of honor) baby shower that I was co-hostessing. However, we loved the time with my family too! Friday we even picked 16 pounds of blueberries...my favorite summer activity. Mom and I realized that this is our 22nd year to pick berries but she didn't want to admit that....should that mean I'm not publishing it? Hmmm?

Anyway, Saturday was the shower for Shannie! She is having a little boy and is due in August. This was one of several showers and she got SO much stuff. She will be more than prepared when Brayden arrives. The nursery is done and painted in two shades of blue. I love the paint colors with the contrasted dark wood furniture they choose. They are going with a sports theme and just got the bumper and such a the shower. We also asked if people would bring books to start a little bookshelf for Brayden. It was super fun to remember some old favorites. Chris suggested A Very Hungry Caterpillar which we got and then I also found The Adventures of Frog and Toad which brought up some other fun memories for Chris. We love books! It was a fun shower and good to catch up with old friends. Mostly it was fun to see the glowing mommy-to-be!!

I also loved designing the invite and decorating cookies for her shower! My mom and I made all the cookies which was super fun in her gourmet kitchen. Then Kari, Mom, and I decorated the cookies. I couldn't have done it without them!
