I Hosted A Woodland Animal Themed Baby Shower
I hosted a “Woodland Animal” themed baby shower on Sunday. Daughters Britt, Zoe and I put together this collaborative effort. My daughter Delcee and her fiancé Andrew, are expecting a baby boy. They have named him Kole and he is due on Christmas Day!
Anyway, I used the occasion to motivate my yard clean up project that took me several weeks to accomplish. Front yard, backyard and side yard clean up. So much of the year is spent with extreme heat here in Phoenix. Who wants to do yard work when it’s 110 outside?
The weather has been amazing! I have spent a lot of time outdoors lately. Here are a few random pics of the party planning process. I was in charge of the food. I wanted a few handcrafted theme based eats there. This is what I came up with for Woodland Animal.
Acorn cookies- easy and fun! Together with pre-made Maple Leaf cookies from Trader Joe’s. These made a cute delicious 3-tiered dessert accompaniment.
Sliced Almonds and a few black olives made this a sweet addition to the party. I cheated and bought a pre-made green onion cheeseball from the grocery store in the deli section. It was absolutely delicious and soft enough to shape easily!
Daughter Zoe made a dip for the fruit. Beautiful berries added a nice pop of color to the party.
My daughter Britt handcrafted all of the paper decor with her CriCut. Perfect for this display of desserts.
Britt also put centerpieces together for the tables outside…
The weather couldn’t have been better. Here are a few random pics… Daughter Delcee and Andrew, The expectant parents!
On to the next get together!
