Owl Garden Party

This past Sunday was Jaxon's baby shower that my dear friend Monica hosted in her back yard!!! It was amazing! Planned to perfection with an Owl Garden Tea Party theme to it - it was more than I could have ever imagined!!! When I walked in and saw it all, I was overcome with tears! After I dried my eyes, Jaxon was spoiled rotten and everyone had a delightful time. I am so lucky to have such a great friend like her! I managed to snap some photos before people arrived and wanted to share them... These are the sugar cookies I gave away to all our guests as "thank you's"...

And what is a party without CUPCAKES???? These were de-lish! Chocolate with yummy blue icing and fondant owls & flowers...

Plates & Napkins running with the owl theme she got these cuties online...

These were the "Wishes For Baby" cards that I asked each guest to fill out. It is a journaling prompted card that everyone filled out - we had such a great response - some made me cry and others made me laugh so hard I cried...

This was a gift from the hostess - it is a beautiful frame with the most breathtaking verbiage...(more crying!)

Mmmmmm Sangria!!! Jurgen, Monica's hubby, made the signature cocktail for the afternoon...

Beautiful hanging paper lanterns in the umbrella & gazebos....

Apple blossom centrepieces adorned each table...

She had gazebos set up in her massive yard...

Tables under the gazebos....

Sitting area on the upper deck...

More seating....

What a day that I will never forget! We noshed on tea sandwiches and all kinds of yummy desserts! It meant so much to me that all the people that took the time out of their day to come and meet our "little man"! Now what do you think the chance of the hubby helping me write all these thank you cards for the piles of gifts Jaxon received are???? Yah, I already got the "but you do SUCH a great job at it honey" speech! Off to start on those! ~Mamacita Bootybella
