Anthony Travel Baby Shower

Here are the photos from my last baby shower! My friends and colleagues from Anthony Travel threw Baby T. a fun pool side baby shower 3 weeks ago! We had a great time and once again Pete and I were really blessed by everyone's encouragement and generosity! Enjoy!!!!

Sheila, Allison, Amber and Shelley! These girls worked hard to set everything up! A big thanks to Shelley for opening up her home (and pool) for the shower!

All the food was amazing but this chip and dip platter was my favorite!!


The fun decorations!!


These cupcakes came from a local bakery and were AMAZING! The gift bags were made by Marcia and had little homemade candies inside. Yum!


Some of the lovely ladies who attended!!



Fun in the sun!!!



So many nice gifts from everyone at my work!! The biggest surprise was that several of my colleagues pitched in and purchased the baby crib for us! Just so generous! We are blessed!! Oh what a fun baby shower for little Baby T.!!!

Indiana Shower

Two weeks ago was all about the baby! We were thrown TWO baby showers up here in Indiana. One was hosted by Amy and Janie (Pete's sister and mom) and the other by my friends at work (Anthony Travel). I am including an update with photos from the first shower below. It was an open house type shower so guests could come and go as schedules permitted. It was so nice to chat with everyone and even catch up with some friends that I had not seen in quite a while!

Baby Tarwacki was blessed with so many great things - it is one spoiled and cared for child already that is for sure! :) I hope you enjoy this short recap of the shower and get a glimpse of what made it so special for us!!!

We are decorating the nursery green and brown so the girls used those colors for the shower. The food was amazing!!!!

Amy and Janie made these cupcakes themselves. They even made the little chocolate molds on top of each cupcake. Not only did they look great they tasted even better!!!

Amy made one amazing punch and hosted a great shower!!!

Janie invested a lot in hosting this shower and everything went so great!!!!! Those little sandwiches you see were BBQ pulled pork - YUM!

Aunt Carol got the baby a piggy bank. You can never start saving too early!!

This was the first time I got to meet my friend Rachel's little girl. She had more fun playing with the wrapping paper than any of the toys around her!!

Some of my lovely guests!

Ever since we first saw this in Target we knew we wanted some for our first kid! I think we ended up with 3 or 4 boxes of the butt paste ;) Yeah I was WAY too excited about this!

More guests - Melba in "her chair"

So excited to see Jen and Jen! They are both due just a few weeks after me! Looking forward to playdates!

Aunt Amy made this for her new little niece or nephew. It is a diaper cake with a bath time theme! Super creative and cute! I loved it! A great centerpiece at the shower!

As you can see we had a wonderful time at the Indiana shower. The following day my colleagues hosted another great shower. More on that to come at a later time!!
