The Baby Shower for me and Kadence

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law gave me a baby shower last weekend! They are both sooooo talented, and pay so much attention to detail. It was a sweet pea or pea in a pod theme, and everything was pink and green, which just so happens to be the colors of Kadence's nursery...perfect!

Alexis found this rocking chair on KSL.com for $20. We loved the shape of it, and lucky for me, my in-laws do a fabulous job of recovering furniture! This is a before and after... I absolutely LOVE it! Annette and Alexis surprised me by having it finished for the shower. It matches so well in the nursery, I can't wait to rock little Kadence to sleep in it!


Annette made these cookies, cupcakes, and lifesaver binkies, isn't she amazing?!?


Alexis made me a darling diaper cake (notice the little pea pods), and oh so cute Tutu. Expect a post of Kadence in this Tutu in the future!


My mom gave me this quilt for one of my gifts. It is a quilt my grandma made for me when I was born, my mom said I used to cuddle with it. I don't remember it, but I am so happy she saved it all of these years for me! Kadence can use it, and then I'll save it and give it to her when she has her first baby. So sweet mom, thanks!


Annette also made a hooded towel and washcloths that match Kadence's bedding, don't they look like they came straight from Pottery Barn?
My friend Rachel flew in all the way from Denver to come to my shower! She and Megan are such great friends!

My mom and I...Look at all that pink behind us!!!


Thank you Annette and Alexis for all you did to make my shower perfect, Love you guys! Thanks to everyone that came, you all spoiled me!

I got Benny a cute little pumpkin costume and I was just going to get an orange shirt and hot glue black felt on for the face? haha! You should TOTALLY be a pumpkin! It's PERFECT! And we still need to get together! What about Monday or Tuesday?

Brittney- What an amazing shower. I love the theme. I can't believe they did all of that by themselves, they should go into a baby shower business. You'll have to show pictures of the nursery with that chair in it, it is amazing. That is so sweet that your mom saved that quilt, I'll have to save some things like that for my girls. The part I love the most about your shower is how grateful you are for everything- you are going to be such a good Mom.
