baBEE shower

While we were in Hatteras, NC for our very fun family reunion my awesome family threw a surprise baby shower for Linsy and I. Darin and Linsy are also having a baby girl in September and we're so excited for them! Our family is finally getting more granddaughters! After September, there will be 9 grandkids- 5 boys and 4 girls! 

Marianne was the brains behind the whole thing, along with my Mom. She throws the best parties! Alyssa and Dawn also helped plan the different games and treats and all of them gave us the CUTEST baby gifts! 
 Adorable bee cake and cupcakes made by Marianne

The whole kitchen was completely decked out in the cutest bee decor! Fancy straws, cute table cloths, hanging bees and balls and banners. A lot of time and work went into this shower! 
 "Baby J" and "Baby G" banners! Ours is hanging up in our nursery as we speak!
 Sweet as honey 
 Diaper cakes with Burts Baby Bees stuff on them 
 More treats. 
 The Mothers to BEE (in our matching headbands) with the party planner and Mom! Mom carried a whole extra suitcase devoted to the baby shower! Marianne was color coordinated with her dress too!
 Dinner of delicious lasagna made by Marianne and Brad

 Mom's game, "When will your baby be born?" We all had to guess what time our baby would be "born" or melted completely out of the ice cube. Darin and I had our babies born at the exact same time! Maybe its a sign! 
 Dawn's game was baby themed pictionary. Beau is drawing "heartburn"
Bryce and I had "nap time" and without even looking at each other or each other's drawings we drew the same picture! 
Opening up gifts for our babies! These blankets were made by BRYCE and his gf Nellie. Yes, Nellie taught Bryce how to crochet and they made these blankets for our sweet babes. 
Adorable blanket and matching pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa!

We also got a cute bow and outfit from Erik and Dawn, an awesome blanket made by Alyssa from Cory and Alyssa, and cute onesies with a 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 on them for monthly growing pictures of the baby from Brad and Marianne. I'm so lucky to have such talented sister-in-laws and mom! We were completely surprised by the baby shower and so excited to get such cute baby stuff! It was so fun being surrounded by my family and all of us celebrating our sweet baby!
