laura's baby shower!

i've been m.i.a. this week because i was crafting/baking/planning for my little sister's baby shower!  it was SO cute (if we do say so ourselves)...

i created the invitation:
a construction themed shower!
baby boy giacobazzi's bedding is all sorts of manly, so we used it to determine the theme and colors:

dessert table - winners all around!
pineapple upside down cake, orange cupcakes, + cake bites
it was mom's genius idea to have me make cake balls - that looked like dirt:
sprinkled with cocoa powder
being scooped by a scooperthingy and piled in a dump truck (not pictured)
 the shower was in the afternoon, so we offered snacks for those midday lulls:
we decorated with toys to give to the g's when baby gets here.  fun!
 more decor:

i have a passion for banners.  it's re-dic.
 the whole color scheme and theme worked so well with mom's dining room:

 our gift table (before the party started):
i freezer-papered onesies with my silhouette cutting the shapes.
a dinosaur for 'dino', a turkey with the word gobble, a plane
i didn't get a pic of my fav: two cows with 'milk lover'
 it's not a shower without games!  {not one of our showers, that is}
guess laura's girth - with construction caution tape
construct a nursery rhyme - complete missing words
 check out the concentration here:
guess how many screws!
mom and allyn (laura's moh) laughing hysterically
allyn read whorer instead of horner.
i almost peed myself.
 and my beautiful glowing sis:
 with her mil, helen:

 and some bump pics:

mom made us go belly-to-belly - high-five cousins!!!!!
at the time, we though it was ridiculous
but i kind of like it now :)
it was FUN!  i am so happy laura and eric are all set to have their bouncing bundle of boy-joy!!  she's due the 27th - keep her in your thoughts for a healthy baby and easy-peasy-drug-free delivery!
