{Post 1,405} Baby Shower Fun

My cupcake toppers...the nursery has a whale theme, so I extended that to the shower as well.  Colors for nursery are blue and orange.  I added green for the shower.

Here is my mantle decorated for the shower.  The chalkboard has a huge whale and says "Whalecome one and all".  Baby will be named Adrian Marc.  My daughter had the great idea of printing out a couple pics the couple had just had taken and put them in my window frame.

The mom-to-be's mother and I collaborated on preparing snacks.  We had lots of goodies.  The punch is a recipe I got from the 60th anniversary celebration I just coordinated a few weeks ago.  I added pineapple sherbet.  Could have drunk the whole bowl myself.  Only tremendous self-control prevented me.  

She received loads of great gifts.  Here are a few of them.

The mom-to-be and me.  The outside chalkboard sported two whales and said, "Whaley, whaley glad U came".  I had a diaper wreath on the front door.

It was the most fun shower I have ever been at.  We all had a whale of a good time.  It was also my birthday, but that little fact was kind of downplayed.
