Baby Shower

The dining room redo took a backseat to Shannon's baby shower. I have spent the last few weeks planning my sister-in-law's baby shower. I spent all day stressing over whether or not I was going to be able to pull it off. With the help of my sweet mother-in-law and some wonderful family and friends, it went off without a hitch! All-in-all, I think it was a success!



I'm definitely not an artist, so this is the disproportional monkey that I drew. Don't laugh!



I made the mistake of putting the monkey on the door before adding the tutu, so I had quite a bit of difficulty getting the tutu to stay on.. Notice the tape on the left side. Ha! 



This is the banner that I made. The pictures of it aren't that great, but it said "Welcome Harlee Sky."





I made a ruffled table skirt out of plastic tablecloths. Pretty cute, I thought! 



Here's the table!









My first fruit baby. Very cute!






My mother-in-law, Nina, made the BEST cupcakes!






She also bought these adorable mini cupcakes and brownie bites for the kiddos. They were perfect!



I made these cupcake toppers out of confetti to tie in the monkey theme.



The guests attempted to guess Harlee Sky's birthday! (:



This is the canvas I did for Miss Harlee. 



I made a motorcyle for Harlee out of diapers, receiving blankets, onesies, and bibs! 



The sock monkey didn't really want to ride..



Last but not least, the sweet mom-to-be!




Mommy with the carseat Uncle Brandon and Aunt Amanda got for Miss Harlee!

That Dining Room

Well, it took longer than expected, but we are finally drawing our dining room redo to a close. We still have some decorating to do, but the room has been painted, and the table is done. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out!!




The chairs aren't finished yet, but we have definitely made progress. I am pleased!
