Allison's Baby Shower!

My Sis-in-Law Allison is due any day with her second baby.  She & her hubby Mike are already parents to their 3 yro son Cameron. This time around they are expecting a baby girl!  Last month, I helped my Mom-in-Law throw Allison a baby shower.

Allison's best friend Lauren made arrangements for us to rent the clubhouse in her subdivision.  It was a lovely room perfect for a cozy gathering!

In addition to Lauren helping us secure the clubhouse, she also made a gorgeous diaper cake and hung a clothes line above the mantle to display some of the outfits Allison received. My niece is going to be one stylish baby girl!  I coordinated the games & prizes, Baby Shower Bingo & a jar of jelly beans for guests to guess the quantity. 

I also designed small soy votive candles for the favors. My company Scentsational Soaps & Candles makes soy candles in many sizes & beautiful fragrances.  Allison chose Macintosh Apple and I customized a cute label. 

Allison & her Momma

Allison & her gal pals, all of which are Moms to baby girls! Lauren's baby is 6 months, Kelly is due a week after Allison & Cheryl is due right after Kelly.

Allison & Mike loved opening presents for their baby girl!  My Sis-in-Law Lauren and I gave Reese a Fisher Price Rock & Play sleeper.  

Maddy loved spending time with Grandma!

Cam is going to be a great big brother!  He helped open all of his sister's gifts and inspected them closely! 

And what would a shower be without cake? ... chocolate & vanilla!

When the shower was wrapping up, Auntie Lauren took Maddy, Mikayla & Cameron outside to the playground while my Mom-in-Law & I cleaned up the room.  I'm so glad I sent my camera out with her, because she got some cute shots of the three cousins. By Thanksgiving, there will be four cousins!

 Allison & Mike received some really nice gifts for Baby Reese and everyone had a great time.  It's pretty safe to say the shower was a complete success!  All we need is our Baby Reese!
