The Screaming Baby Chronicles: Episode 1: Pre Arrival Party

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the following words:

♥Gumboots,

♥Pearls,

♥Calf Barn,

♥Dresses,

♥Haybails,

♥A pregnant belly,

♥Fresh out of the Cow, Milk?

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party?

Me too.

A very pregnant friend of mine deserved a baby shower so this is it documented in photo form.

Invites: Front

Invites: Back

"Don't be late for a very important date. We are celebrating baby Harris' miracle of life. By order of the Queen of Hearts, you are hereby summoned to attend".

Croquet.

Esther had to cheat to keep up.

Bex being a good sport.

Hillbillies.

I made all the confetti and stars, the pain in my fingertips were way worse than the pain that comes with cutting your nails too short.

Our budget didn't allow for big luxurious club chairs. Haybails were the extent of it.

Oooooh.

Aaaaah.

Lanterns.

"Eat Me"... I did.

Intently hanging on every word.

We were tired of lame baby shower games so opted for a good ole game of Croquet and just sitting around eating, opening presents and drinking tea like ladies.

Unstructured parties are off the hizzay!
