A Party for Aunt Annie-Dallas Shower

I am finally getting around to posting about Aunt Annie's Dallas shower.  I hosted the shower with Annie's two adorable sister in laws, Audra and Lexie and her friend Rene.  Now, as you know if you know me, I am a self professed control freak.  I really don't feel bad about it.  It is just a part of me.  However, these girls were AWESOME to throw a shower with!  We divided and conquered the work pretty squarely and it all came out just lovely.  Audra and Honda (Bret's very talented Mommy) did all the decor, I did the food, Rene did the cake, and Lexie flew in from Colorado on a red eye (a 3 am wake up call came here way, people).  

The favors that Audra, Honda, and I put together.  They came out very cute.  I did the little poem and Audra and Honda put together the rest.  I feel like a contributor to something that came out looking pretty professional.

Audra and Honda brought over these white table clothes that were made by Bret's Great Grandma.  So stinking cool.  The flowers were also gorgeous.

I was really proud of my little signs I made for all the food.

And I had to chalk up a sign on my chalkboard from Bret and Annie!  I think I am going to keep it up until Colton comes to see me.

Plates?  Is that what you are thinking.  However, these are from Bret's Great Grandma as well and Honda brought them for the special occasion.  Such history!  I thought they were very cool.

Audra got a bunch of Annie's maternity photos to put around the house.

 More pictures of more desserts....

The party in action...

JB was obsessed with the cake.  Look at here being a little angel in front of it....

Or not.

The hostesses...Oh yeah, Rene and Annie are due a week apart.  How fun is that?

The Moms and the Grandmoms.

Annie and Stephanie.  Sorry, but I had to clip Sophie out.  She wasn't lookin' cute.  She will thank me later.

Jillian finally got some cake.  And she really enjoyed feeding it to Mimi.
