ITS A BABY SHOWER!!!
Amanda is due to have her little man ANY DAY now so of course since its her first boy, we had to throw her a little shower last week. Thanks to Ashley for helping out and also letting us use her house for the night, I think things turned out good!
As favors, we set up this candy bar. Let me tell you, it was NOT easy finding "blue" candy but we did it and now have PLENTY leftover!
Amanda is NOT allowed to change his name now since we've made it OFFICIAL at the shower!

These water bottles were jazzed up a little with a new label.

Instead of your normal finger foods, we went for a "mashed potato bar" instead. It was different and fun (thanks for letting me steal your idea Aunt Aundrea).

We had all kinds of toppings (i.e. brisket, shredded beef, cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, broccoli, etc) and had them put in these little margarita glasses (yes, I now have a major collection of margarita glasses but they'll be fun for future parties).

Then instead of your usual cupcakes or cake, Ashley had the idea of doing these chocolate molten cakes from Costco that she worked her butt off trying to find! We used more than what is displayed here but you get the picture.

And OF COURSE Amanda scored with LOTS good gifts for her little Cooper!


Now, she's set, ready and now just waiting anxiously for him to make his debut!!!!
