Baby Ben's Dr. Seuss Baby Shower

:A person's a person, no matter how small:

-dr. seuss

well, we did it!

my mom and I successfully (in my modest opinion) pulled off brynn's baby shower!

booyah.

the day turned out great, with only mild freaking on my part.

(and only for like a hour before it started.. I was frantically making finger sandwiches!)

 here is our food setup in my momma's kitchen. blue vinyl table cloth, plates, forks, cups, and napkins from zurchers party store. red and white strip table cloth made by yours truly

(not that they were hard, but I can toot my own horn. toot toot!).

the little finger sandwiches that I was frantically making - one is chicken salad and the other is a cucumber sandwich.

(I've included the recipes here for download.. these are both so good! thanks to my MIL for the recipes!)

peanut butter and raspberry bars, and cupcakes for dessert!

(thanks to my bff for helping me make everything! she's de bestest.)

only one picture of downstairs. what was I thinking?!

who knows.. 

guests were encouraged to visit the candy table on the way out!

I'm pretty sure it was a hit with the kids - but I'm also pretty sure it wasn't a hit with the parents that kids all hyped up on sugar. 

sorry parents. 

 thanks to brynn's sister-in-law, kellyanne, for letting us use her cotton candy machine!

shower mama with her crazy eyed little boy (my sweet as punch nephew), noah.

the shower was so much fun!

I'm sure brynn would agree when I say that we're so grateful for friends and family who helped with everything!

we're also grateful for everyone who made it out for the party!

it was fab-u-lous to see you all!

the shower is over.

ben was spoiled.

now, I just need to be patient for his arrival.

..can't wait to hold the little bug..
