book-themed baby shower

one of my baby showers had a fantastic book theme!  guests were asked to bring their favorite children's book to help build baby lily's library.  it was a great idea and today, lily loves going to her little bookshelf to choose whatever book she wants to read.  she's so cute as she walks her little bum backward with her chosen book to her papa and sits on his legs crossed on the floor as if his legs are her chair!


the sweets table with the cake by metzi.  the baby was soo cute and detailed!  other sweets were from costco.

the games were a ton of fun!  chocolate in the diaper... and yes, this is our pastor trying to "test" out the "poop"!

we also had a game for the men.  they were given stuffed toys as their "baby" and they had to dress them with a diaper, a onesie, bib, cap and socks.
