A Baby Shower

A few weeks ago Laura and I were very lucky to travel to Minnesota for our cousin Lisa's baby shower!  My mom and Aunt Sue hosted the shower, so Laura and I just helped with the decorations/crafting the night before the party.
 
On our way out there was the most beautiful sunrise!  (this picture doesn't even remotely capture how beautiful it was!)
 

Laura decorated the cute wreath. 

The theme was "books" and everyone who attended brought Lisa a book for her baby's room.  My mom had book plates specially made so everyone could put their name in the book they brought. 

 Laura made this cute banner for baby Jack.



 Everyone signed a special book for Lisa.

 His nursery pillow has those trees on it so I made a canvas for his nursery wall. 
 Aunt Sue and my mom had so many cute decorations!
 Laura, my Grandma, Lisa, and me.  Lisa didn't know any of us were going to come so she was very surprised!

 We had one game to play-Laura thought of some questions about popular children's books and it was fun to see how many people knew them!  There were a few teachers in the room so it was quite the competition.
 Lisa opened lots of great presents-here's the quilt for baby Jack's room.

We had such a wonderful time and were so happy to celebrate with Lisa!

You all did such a great job with the decorations. I need you to help me with a bridal shower in 3 weeks.
