Our friends of almost 10 years, Wayne and Julie, welcomed their 3rd child to their family on August 16th! We were so excited to learn it was a girl (although we all knew it would be)! Some ladies from our Sunday School class hosted a "sip and see" at my house. Definition: an open house to meet the baby and eat lots of yummy food. It was a great group effort and we had so much fun with the pink!
Erin and Erica made these delicious cupcakes and cute bunny picks. (How I wish I could take credit for these!)
Virginia made the lime punch and brought over her punch bowl set. Awesome!
Eileen out did herself with all the food...veggies, cheeses, fruit, dips...
I originally planned on decorating with primary colors and gingham prints to match the invitations we made. However, this was before we knew it was a girl (Julie doesn't find out the gender of her babies or so we thought...long story...anywhoo....). After Jenna was born I struggled to find decor that worked for a girl in primary colors. But then I found these cute, apple green/pink polka dot plates at Hobby Lobby and used that as the inspiration! I bought some inexpensive wooden cut out letters, painted them hot pink and hung them from ribbon on the mantle along with some itty bitty onesies. I made the diaper cake above and used the same ribbon and topped it with a plush doll. Every little girl needs a doll! Finally, I bought some coordinating polka dot scrapbook paper and adhered it to a wooden frame also painted apple green. I painted another 'J' cutout letter the same green and glued it on just to tie it all together. I couldn't help it - too fun!
Here are the pics from the party....Welcome to the world Jenna Diane!
Group shot - missing a few that couldn't stay the entire time :(
I think she's secretly always wanted a girl! Look at that smile!
