A Shower for Shalae (and Phoebe)

I planned to have a baby shower for Shalae, but since she had nearly everything she needed, we decided against it. When she found out there would be no shower, Phoebe was heart-broken. Then some women in our church had a surprise baby shower for Shalae, and Phoebe wasn’t invited. Again, she was heart-broken. So we decided to have a small shower with just us girls.

Three generations of Gardner girls (except Shanna and Abbie) gathered at Dear Lizzie for sandwiches, chips, and cupcakes. We played a guessing game, wrote wishes for “baby,” and named the baby (well, we gave lots of ideas!). It was a simple and nice evening together.

I guess that means “baby” can come any day now!

Oh! Dear Lizzy...actually got to go there last convention in SLC. What a perfect place to have a baby shower!

Of course she needed a family baby shower! I love that Phoebe was incorporated into the event. Each of my nieces and nephews have considered whatever baby was the next one after them as "their baby." Every time you post something about Dear Lizzie I remember that I've intended to take my nieces there but haven't yet done so. What a fun day.

This looks fun! And how special for Phoebe. I'm thinking she's a cousin, but perhaps she's the big sis.... I'm trying to decide which one is the mom-to-be. Is Shalae in any of these pictures?

Oh that is so lovely!! That looks so wonderful. What a great reason to get together as family and have some time to enjoy each other. The cupcakes look so delicious. Congratulations Shalae - all the best with naming "baby". I love the names Lilli and Ivy. :) That is if "baby" is a girl. lol.

"Baby" is a boy, Phoebe is the big sister, and Shalae is pictured with me...the beautiful mom-to-be!
