A Nautical Shower

I just realized that I never posted pictures from my beautiful baby shower to welcome Baby Boy into the family! It was thrown by my aunt, sis-in-law, and cousin-in-law and so many wonderful ladies of the family and church were able to come.

 

It's a good thing the shower was held on the date it was...one more week and I wouldn't have been able to attend! Brayden was born 5 days after the shower! He surprised us a little bit by coming earlier than expected...

 

His nursery has a Nautical Theme, so the girls kept the theme going with the shower too.

 

I loved all of the decorations. It's hard to decorate in a HUGE church hall, but they made it super cute!

 

I think I took 10 of these little favors for Gray to eat. The girl loves her jellybeans...

 

The corkboard had notes next to it, so each guest could write a little something to Brayden for the board. There were such sweet things left on it when it was time to go home.

 

The name board looks great in his nursery.

 

There was so much attention to detail. The "life-savers", fishing nets...

 

And little sea creatures too!

 

It was unseasonable warm the day of the shower (in January!) so I got to pull out a dress I wore when I was pregnant with Gray!

 

Unwrapping tiny baby things is so much fun. I love going to baby showers too just to see the tiny clothes, soft blankets, and sweet little toys.

 

And of course the food was wonderful. When you're 9 months pregnant, seeing your favorite fruits, snacks, and of course, cupcakes will make your day!

 

It was such a special time and so much fun to prepare to welcome our sweet little boy. He turned two months old this week! Yikes!

They grow up way to fast.
