Lindsey's Shower

Friday after dropping the kids off, I headed to St. Cloud for the weekend. I was hosting a shower for Lindsey at her house. I didn't get there until late in the evening on Friday, so other than staying up too late talking, we didn't do much.
Saturday morning, we started to get ready for the shower (which was going to be on Sunday). After getting a few things done, we took a break and headed to the gym for a work out.
The baby's room is grey, white, and yellow, so that is what I used for the shower theme. These are what I used to hold the silverware.




And then the silverware for dessert.




After getting back from the gym, we showered and headed out for lunch and a little bit of Christmas shopping. Once we were done, it was back to more preparation.
I got the idea for the French door decoration off of Pinterest; cut circles out of scrapbook paper and attached them to fishing line.




Almond bark dipped pretzels with yellow crystals.




Beverage area. I covered all the pictures in her house with different silver and white wrapping paper. With their yellow walls, it went well with the theme!




These are water bottle labels--there were different sayings on them: congrats Lindsey, little sunshine, and precious baby.




Cupcakes had cupcake toppers with the same sayings as the water bottle covers, in addition it yellow cupcake wrappers.








A grocery store in town had some fall flower bouquets on sale, so I bought a few and took out the orange and red flowers. It was nice having fresh flowers!








I made this decoration before going to St. Cloud. It was tedious but LOVE how it turned out!




Also thanks to Pinterest, I had some new recipes to try. With the shower at 1pm, I didn't want to have a big meal, but certainly wanted to have food. I made a fruit salad with a honey lime dressing, individual apple pie wraps, Swedish meatballs, celery logs with cottage cheese/cucumber/basil, and deviled eggs (they're yellow and white--how could I not?!).
Also thanks to Pinterest, Lindsey helped me paint Popsicle sticks and turned then in to little easels. I then put the food labels on them.








And because I have a MILLION pictures is the mama-to-be opening gifts, I will only chose one.




Lindsey (hopefully) has a few pictures that I didn't get. Maybe I'll be able to add a few more later. Here we are with friend Brooke, that we've known since we lives in Bemidji.




And after everyone left and stuff was put away, my sister and I...




I am so honored and happy to be able to have this shower for her. She is my only sister, my only sibling. I really only had one opportunity to do this. And if she didn't already deserve this, this baby has been a long time coming. She and Paul have been through so much to get to this point. I'm proud of them for becoming a stronger couple through this journey. Baby Menard is already loved THIS MUCH.
