Saturday was my niece, Nikki’s, baby shower. She’s due in 2 weeks and is so cute. It was such a fun shower to decorate for, especially because Whitney, Amanda and Emilee were all able to help. Here’s some of the fun decorations we made. She was able to keep them all and hopefully use them in the baby’s room.
I love the look of clothes on a line, so we hung our presents for the baby on the clothes line. I was going to make more skirts, but ran out of time. Whitney made the cutest ever little tutu’s. Oh, sooooo girly. I also added some monogram bling to 2 of the onesies.
You’ve seen the mobile, but here it is again. My sister-in-law had a great idea to get a light kit from Ikea and make it a real chandelier. Here are the dessert stands too, before the cupcakes were on them.
The McKenna banner again, on the fireplace mantel.
I love how the tissue paper flowers turned out. It was my first time making them. They weren’t too hard, but took a while. I made 5 in the time it took to watch a full movie. But I think they create a huge impact. My 14 year old wants some in her bedroom.
Whitney made these cute wood letters that spelled out McKenna. She embellished them with ribbons, brads and bling. They turned out so cute. I took a picture, but it somehow got erased. I wish I could show you because they were adorable.
The food was delish. Sister-in-law Holly made the delicious cupcakes. Whitney made the yummy chicken salad with grapes and almonds and I made the other salads. Here’s Whitney and Emilee at work.

More family.
And more family.
I should have had someone else take the pictures once the shower started. I would get caught up in the moment and forget to take pictures. You may notice, none of the presents. Sorry about that Nikki.
Parker, my grandson is working on eating some of the leftovers. Look at him go!
I think the shower turned out great. We love Nikki and wish the best for her and Greg and their new little McKenna. Happy Labor Day! HaHa!
