Baby Shower!

I hosted a baby shower for my sweet friend Camille this last Thursday. She has two boys the same age as my two who are great friends and we have had a lot of fun hanging out with her and her family at all the sports they have played together. Except for baseball - that was not as much fun four nights a week for a few weeks straight!

Camille is having a GIRL!!! I couldn't be more excited for her and I was thrilled to throw her a shower.

Some yummy taffy in a Wal-Mart $3.00 hurricane jar. I hot glued some silk flowers onto a Styrofoam ball to put on top. I decided to leave it out for Valentine's Day.

More cute pink flower balls that I hung from the chandelier. Camille opening up her gifts and Lauren trying to unwrapped all the pretty packages!Some of the yummy food. Raspberry lemonade tarts, chili artichoke dip, eclairs, and I'm sorry to the very sweet girls who helped bring food that I didn't get a picture of the whole table! Especially Leslie whose peanut butter bars were a big hit!

She received so many nice things - now on to the fun part of finishing up her nursery and hanging everything up! I don't know why I like that the best - it's just so fun to see everything PINK in a closet after two boys I think!

I wanted to serve petit fours. They are a favorite of mine and I think they look so pretty on a table. I called so many places around Salt Lake to find - NOTHING! A few places had no idea what I was even talking about which is not what you expect when you call a French bakery. Our town needs a good bakery!
I tried to make them myself. Halfway into pouring the fondant (which I got too hot by the way) I realized this was a disaster in the making. I know when I've met my match and decided to stop. Theses are the few I accomplished. Sad little things. No pretty monogram or rose piped on them. Graham and Greg promptly gobbled them up the next morning though so at least they didn't go to waste and my time wasn't spent for not!
