A Cheery, Cherry Celebration

A sweet friend of mine is having a baby girl next month (well, she's due at the end of December...).  We're all so excited to see this little girl.  No couple will be more blessed by this little girl than my friends, Ashley and Greg.

Needless to say, we had to have a party.  No pregnancy goes without a little celebration.

Ashley and Greg are decorating little Ella's room with vintage cherries.  From the pictures I've seen, it is so beautiful!!  Kimberly (my partner in crime) and I decided that was going to be the theme of the party as well.  Cherries!

First, you have to have invitations:

The little poem at the top says
             "Cherries are red, cherries are sweet.
              One beautiful family is nearly complete.
              Isabella's arrival is almost here
              Anxiously awaiting for her to appear.
              You've been picked! It's time to party!
              This precious baby will be here shortly!"

Then, a little bit of decorations...

And a little bit of food....

Ok, in case you can't read the signs.... we had a little fun with a play on words:

Baby Bump Sliders

Swaddlers (piggies in a blanket)

Bundles of Joy (mini quiches)

Heavenly Lil' Deviled Eggs

Cinnabuns In the Oven

Baby Powdered Donuts

Cherry Limeade Cupcakes

and

Cheery Punch

Finally, no shower is complete without games.  This is just a few that we did:

The Baby Delivery Adlib

Bible Bookmarks for Isabella

The New Parent Game 

(played like the Newly Wed Game)

After it's all said and done, it was a fun and enjoyable party.  I think the new parents are going to be just fine!!!
