Last week I had the honor of throwing a little baby shower for a co-worker and sweet friend of mine, Kathy. Kathy is pregnant with her second child, but her first bundle of BOY! Did you like that play on words right there? Yes? Good! Okay...back to the party...
We had a simple dinner at The Boathouse in Winona Lake and really enjoyed the evening together. It was just a blessing to watch Kathy as she opened all the precious baby gifts. She even brought her daughter with her; Kaylee. Kaylee is 3 and a bundle of energy. She is SO excited about having a "baby budder" as she says...it is just too cute!
Here is the evening in pictures:
I will admit that I was pretty proud of these darling cupcakes. I decided to make chocolate cake because that is one thing that Kathy has been craving with this pregnancy. Pair moist chocolate cake with vanilla bean butter cream frosting and you have a hot. Add super cute blue baby rattles made by my friend Brooke, and we have a home run folks. They turned out super cute and tasty, too!
I just love the details on wrapping for little babies. Everything is so cute!
Meet Kaylee, friend. She is a spitting image of her momma and so excited to be a big sister. She was thrilled to open presents for her baby brother and show them all to us. The fact that she had been eying the cupcakes and her Mom told her she could have one after she opened all the gifts may have had something to do with it.
Mel from work was so sweet and brought a little gift for Kaylee so she did not feel left out with all the attention and gifts that her brother was getting. She opened her gift and turned into the Big Sister Princess!
Mom crowning the Princess! :)
She finally got to eat a cupcake! She was so patient and ready to dig in...that she did!
Looks like she enjoyed it, don't you agree?

This picture is so sweet, it just makes my heart happy! How can you not smile looking at this big sister giving her baby brother kisses?!
The happy and glowing Momma-to-be!
The evening ended with a lovely sunset over Winona Lake.
Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this night special for Kathy, Kaylee and the baby boy (whose name I know but it is a secret from her family, so I will not disclose that info...it is super cute though!) Kathy, we all hope that you continue to enjoy the end of your pregnancy and that you call us if you need anything at all. We are all here for you and your family!
