A baby shower with friends.

     This past Saturday, some of my friends hosted a "Cat in the Hat" baby shower for me and Baby Cato. It was the cutest thing ever. From the decorations to the menu and the games, it couldn't have been more perfect (and Pinterest worthy)! It was so fun to eat and talk and celebrate, it definitely ended too soon! I'm so thankful for Katekate, Jamie, Joy and Linz, they put so much thought and effort into making the day so special. Baby Cato is one spoiled boy!
     Here are some photo's from the day. Please take note of that watermelon/fruit salad baby carriage from Joy, how creative!

The cake was fantastic! It got several rave reviews that also included pleas for the recipe and pleas for take home slices. Best cake from a box recipe I've ever tasted (Katekate definitely substituted in some secret ingredients)!

The decorations included a pennant garland using pages from a Dr. Suess book and a fun fabric garland in primary colors! Jamie truly outdid herself. And the punch from Linz was so tasty, especially when sipped through stripped straws out of glass bottles!

Unfortunately I didn't get pictures with everybody, but the guest list included (for my own memory); Katelyn Gray, Joy Hill, Lindsay Mangham, Le'nore Sims, Lisa Cosgrove, Kaitlin Hogan., Ana Chappell, Jenny Koury, Naomi McLaughlin, Rose Greene, Gianna Miller, Jen Malone (her daughters, Caroline and Kate), Carolyn and Dallis Kennedy, Tricia DeBoer, Abi and Pax Little, Kristin Siegel, Allison Smith, Rachel Nieme and Melanie Stoner. 

How cool is this piece of art from Kristin! I'm so excited to hang it in the nursery. 

So many great gifts! I love that we decided to have people bring books instead of cards, our home library is starting out well stocked!

My heart is overwhelmed with thankfulness. Such a special day with some incredible friends!
