Baby Shower for my BeSTiE!!!

Okay...so obviously June is by far my busiest month. And to add to my madness, I hosted a baby shower for my bestie, Carrie (who is carrying my godson, Maxim James, in her belly), on the same day as Maysie's dance recital. (Yes, I am a mad woman!) No really though, June 19th was the best day for the party and everything worked out wonderfully! Here are some special "facts" about her shower:

- Dr. Seuss' "One Fish, Two Fish..." theme

- Approximately 50 people in attendance

- Hired a Taco Lady to serve up fresh tacos

- Served ceviche, rice and beans (from Cafe Rio), chips and salsa, salad

- Had a chocolate fountain (Thank You, Melissa!) complete with: rice krispy treats, pound cake,

strawberries, pineapple, apples, pretzels, bananas, and gummy bears!!!

- Played "Measure Mommy" (Ha! And a boy, Jimmy's cousin, won!) and a few raffle games

- Filled out advice cards and wrote silly messages on diapers (I bit these ideas from Melissa's

shower...thanks again, girl!!!)

- Opened oodles of presents (or "presidents"...as Maysie would say)!!!

- Gave boxed SUPER yummy Chantilly Cupcakes as a party favor (which was ALL

my idea...LOL...just kidding, another fabulous idea from Melissa)

- The shower was so much fun, even "Papa Bear" showed up to help open a few gifts...and the

compliments were just the cherry on top!

Now we just need to wait for Max to make his big entrance!!!
