My dear friends are having a baby boy!!  Of course we had to have a baby shower to welcome Christian Josiah.  Love the name by the way.  I had a blast planning for this shower although with any party planning there comes stress.  But the good kind of stress.  We had the party at our friends house and went with the nursery’s owl theme.  Colors were brown and blue.  Food was awesome.  Homemade lasagna, fennel salad, mac and cheese, corn casserole, and a chocolate fountain.  Compliments of chef Amy and Sooj.  We had a beautiful owl cake from violet’s bakery.  Unfortunately, it looked 10x better than it tasted.  They have gorgeous cakes but too sweet for my sweet tooth.  We also had candied apples as party favors.  The diapercake and scrap booking by Angela were simply adorable.  The decorations came out much better than we had anticipated and overall us girls had a great time catching up and spending time with each other.  Can’t believe some of my friends are becoming/are already moms.  I still feel like a kid.  Oh me oh my.
