I can finally breathe! I have been party-to 3 baby showers recently-- 2 of which I was in on the hosting. All were great, but I am happy to say they are over- and that they turned out really well!! Absolutely loved each of them!
The first was on June 12-- for Niki and Van. The theme was "Come Fly with Me" and the decorations turned out adorably! The airplanes were AWEOSME! Here's a few pics of the decorations:
An overall view
Banner 1 "come fly with me"
noticed the "table cloth" it's pieced together with the scraps from the quilt mom made
for Van (it matches his bedroom)
Danelle made the blocks- "Come Fly With Me" and on the back they spell "Van"
Jared helped with the restoration of these old airplanes, and they turned out great!
the other blocks said "Worth the Wait"
The centerpieces with advice cards around the edge, turned out so cute!
gift from Grandma Kathy and Gwen... So cute!
the back side of the blocks... so cute, great job Danelle! :)
the quilt that mom made for Van. So cute!
We hung airplanes from the ceiling over each of the tables, turned out soooo awesome! Way to go Danelle for figuring out that one! :)

Wow! Valerie, The showers look amazing! I wish I could have made it to Niki's - Jackson was sick with croup, but he's fine now. I love the color schemes and Wow, who made that huge truffle (looks delicious) not to mention the adorable pink shower too! I love the airplane theme, title boxes and games! You could hire out you know, go Pro! You rock! I hope this summer is going great for you! Next time your near Casa Grande (driving through or going to Buckeye) give me a heads up and we'll go out to eat! Love ya!
