Kennedy Mae's Baby Shower!

What a great Saturday we had!  I woke up really excited for 2pm to get here.  I cleaned the house, Craig finished painting the trim and chair rail in her room, he put up her furniture and then I tried to relax until the big baby shower. 

Niki graciously donated her house and major decorating skills for the party.  And she is 36 weeks pregnant, now that is determination!  She is such a great friend.  Maria also helped her get ready and I really appreciate that!  I arrived to a very pretty in pink and black house, it was so cute.  Here was the welcome sign when people walked in.
Here was the entry table with cupcakes, favors and an advice book for me.  The cupcakes were so great, Carmen and Paula made them.
Here is the banner and Kennedy's finished blanket for her crib that I made!
The drink table, yum punch! 
The food, mini sandwiches, fruit, chocolate strawberries, fruit and crackers.  All provided by the cooks of the shower, Paula and Carmen!
This was a fun surprise, Niki and Maria had this bag monogrammed for me and added a little frill to it as part of my present.  It is so cute and perfect for our little girl!
Getting ready to play some games! 
We played a game of A-Z baby items.  I came close to winning, but I had some items they did not think qualified, haha, like quack for Q.  I was thinking of rubber ducky and they say quack, right?  Maria won!
Then everyone got toilet paper and guessed how much it would take to make it around my tummy.  Natalie was the first to go, she had 17 squares and it was too much, yay!  Haha.
It was a quick game because Paula went next and guessed the right amount at 10 squares, go Paula!
Then it was present time.  Niki and Maria made her this super cute blanket and had it monogrammed with her name on it.  I really love it and from what I hear they were up until 3 am finishing it.  I really love these girls, so sweet!
Jenn also had a blanket done for me and these fun bibs with her initials on them.
Lincoln even got a gift from grandma.  He put it on over his shirt when we got home, he loved it! 
Sidenote, while we had the baby shower, Avery and Levi went over to our house and played.  The kids were playing in Lincoln's room and Levi called Craig back there because he said they were making a mess.  Philip and Craig go back to find that Linc and Avery had sun screen all over them, the walls and his bed, haha!  Kinda sounds like fun, just glad I didn't have to clean it up.  Thanks Craig and Philip!
I got some super cute clothes, here was a dress my mom got her.
It was such a great shower.  Before I knew it we had been there 3 hours.  I was having such a good time I didn't even realize the time!  Here I am with my grandma and mom.
My mom and I.
Here are my wonderful hostess', Carmen, Paula and Niki. 
4 of us were preggo at the shower.  Jennifer, Maria, me and Niki!  It was a lot of fun to hang out with so many!
I had such a great time.  Thank you all so much for hosting this for Kennedy and I.  We really appreciate all the fun times we got to spend with friends.
