Two of our very best friends are expecting a little one just a few weeks before Baby Brother is due. This past weekend I hosted a baby shower for Jenny.  A funny side story about Jenny…of course we all know that Rory is obsessed with Cinderella.  One day, I was explaining to her that Jenny is her Godmother.  Rory thought about it for a couple seconds, made a funny face, and said to me, "Jenny's not magic!"  LOL!  Godmother does not equal fairy godmother, and Jenny does not have the ability to turn pumpkins into a carriage.

Anyway…here are some of the details from the shower.  We all know how much I love hosting parties, and I had lots of fun with this.

The invitation

I had this cute banner made from an etsy seller, who I'm too lazy to link right now, but I did mention her in a ten on tuesday post awhile back.

Everyone signed this book with a little message for the mommy and baby.

Name tags for the guests.  One lucky person had a surprise "poopy" in their diaper, and they won a prize!

A diaper cake.  I loved how this turned out!

I adored those orange gerbera daisies!

Oreo truffles disguised as cupcakes!  YUM!

Jenny said one of her cravings were gummy worms, so those were given as favors.  I figured they went well with the birdy theme!

It was a fun little party!  Now I can't wait to snuggle that little baby when he or she is born!

We've all been sick for over a week now, so I've been doing the bare minimum, which means I haven't done anything to any photos from Easter or the last week or two.

But here's The Jeans being all sweet and goofy after bath doing her thing.  She has been on a kick with this song lately, and I just had to catch it on video.

you are my sunshine

Rory has been sleeping in her big girl bed for over a week now, and she has done great!  She loves it, and hasn't had any problems with going to sleep in there.  And she hasn't even fallen out {yet}!   Even though we tell her that she is such a big girl, she just looks so tiny in that bed! 

The best thing about her sleeping in a big girl bed…now, after almost three years, I can finally reach my sleeping baby big girl to give her kisses when she is sleeping!  I am taking full advantage of that.

I had to sort of lie to her to get her to even let me take a picture.  And while I adore the color of the walls in her room, I hate taking photos in there because the blue makes it difficult.  So, what you see is what you get!

Also known as cinnamon rolls…

I made these for the church bake sale this weekend, and they are a must make!  Seriously, so good, and they would be perfect for Easter weekend!  I love the Pioneer Woman, and I am never afraid to try one of her recipes.  I mean, her motto is "butter is the fifth food group."  How could you go wrong?
