Baby Shower Time

Last week was a busy one!  After VBS all week, a few of us had a baby shower for our Pastors wife, Hannah, on Saturday.  It was a lot of fun, and I thought I'd show you a few pictures of how it went.

Here's a few of the decorations:

My daughter Laura is gifted at flower arrangements and did this cute little arrangement in a vintage baby girl planter for Hannah's table.

I found this sign on Etsy. You could personalize it and then print it out yourself.

I found pink gauze runners on Amazon, borrowed these wooden bead strings from Laura and then put little vases with pink roses on the tables.  We had some pink heart balloons scattered around too.  It looked cute and girly!  (This is baby number six and a girl after 5 boys!)

This was a really cute idea for a baby shower.  We bought some newborn diapers and sharpie markers.  The sign says:

Late night diapers must be done,
but here's a way to make it more fun.
A word of encouragement, a giggle or two,
Give the new parents a note just from you.
Pick up the diaper and write on the booty,
Something to take their mind off the doody!

Here's Hannah with her mom and lots of gifts!

This is something I added with my gift.  I saw it on Pinterest and thought it was such a cute idea.
Take a tiny bud vase and type out this message, roll it up and put it in the vase:
"Motherhood is full of sweet, yet simple moments, like your little one finding and picking flowers for you! This tiny vase's purpose is to hold tiny flowers, delivered by tiny hands, picked just for you. Place in on your windowsill and remember just how much you are loved."

Here's one last photo - a shot of the whole group when the shower was done.  It was such a good time!

VBS

This past week we had VBS at our church. I worked there for a few days being the nurse.  They always have a nurse there just in case, but thankfully it usually only requires a hug and a bandaid!

I have to show you how great the decorations were.  We have some talented ladies that worked hard, and a few guys that helped build things. The theme was the Wild West this year.

This is what you see when you enter church.  These were the registration tables and the sign in/out tables.

Cute horses!

Wanted posters of our Pastor, church secretary and a few others.

Here's a gold mine passage that leads to the classrooms.

There's even a train up front!
