Getting ready to welcome Oliver

Baby shower invite designed by Chris and Ann


As most of you know I love to plan parties. I love to decorate and create a relaxing atmosphere for our friends and family. This coming weekend, we'll be having the baby shower at our house, hosted by my mother-in-law Sandy. This is part of the reason we wanted to fix up the house, and have a deadline to get the nursery in shape.

Here's a sneak peak. We have few other things to add, but the curtains and paint already makes the room feel like a fun place to grow up in.

To keep things simple and take advantage of the fresh summer fruits, we decided to have a dessert/fruit buffet and hire a coffee service. Disney have used many times for our photoshoots. They come to your place and set up a coffee bar and makes deliciious drinks. Since we plan on being outdoors, we decided to add a smoothie bar also. And for the food, we've asked a few of our friends and family to help bring their specialty sweets.

My friend Luci who has taken a cake decorating class will be helping me decorate some cupcakes. I tried it out myself for the first time.



We also have a few special things planned for the party that will be a lot of fun and meaningful.

More to come, and hope to see you at the shower!
