“Surf’s Up” Shower and a New Baby
Recently, my mom and I attended a SWEET baby shower for my niece,
Kathleen, given by her sister, Carly.
The party was in
also known as Surf City, USA.

Mia, the big sister, welcomes us to the party…
See the shark fin and the bite out of the surf board? Gnarly.
That guy swimming in the cupcakes is in trouble!
There was an awesome candy “bar” at the baby shower.
Felt like a kid in a candy shop…cute paper weight for the candy bags.
See the gummy shark pool?
These “sandy” cupcakes are dipped in toasted coconut…love the beach chairs and towels.
They knew they were having a boy and already named him Jax.
The “woody” car is made out of rice krispie treats.
I didn’t get a picture of it, but they had baby swim trunks pinned to a line hanging above the tables.
This is the gift I took…inside was a little pair jeans,
a striped short sleeved t-shirt over a long sleeved t-shirt
and a bunch of surfer brand onesies.
And look who arrived not long ago,
a little surfer dude named Jax…
with his mama and my “baby girl.”
Definitely something to celebrate!
Also, Annie from “Lovely Things” was just at my home to visit
and gave me this darling leaf and twig chick.
Happy Spring!
