Library Baby Shower for Baby L-P

Dear Baby Lyons-Pardue,

We are patiently waiting your arrival. We are so excited to meet you and love on you! But as we wait, we celebrate you and your beautiful momma!

Ladies from the church and from your family came to help mommy (and daddy) prepare for your arrival by showering your family with gifts and books from our build-a-library shower. Instead of cards, your friends brought you books with beautiful inscriptions. I'm sure you will love sitting with mommy and daddy and reading all these great books! We played a game of guessing what classic book pictures hanging on a banner came from. These book illustrations led to lots of fun discussions about what books were our personal favorites as kids and as mommies. We also played a guess the ingredients in the baby food, which your mom loved because it reminded her of one of her favorite "guess the ingredients" game on a cooking show (baby, you are lucky for numerous reasons but one is because your mommy is a fabulous cook!). We had so much fun celebrating your impending arrival, know baby L-P that you are very loved already!

The table decorated in tan and white with roses from my rose bush. 

The place settings were drawn on the brown butcher paper with white colored pencil. The "name cards" were all the different roles of mom (ie. chauffer, counselor, photographer, historian, etc.)


The banner made from pictures photocopied from classic books and mounted on tan paper hung from twine and clothespins.
 



Baby food game. (I didn't make any of your friends taste the gross ones, just the good ones)

Any day now baby L-P! Can't wait to meet you!

Love,
Amy
