Baby Shower No. 1: At the Ranch

Sondra and Linda hosted a beautiful baby shower, complete with afternoon tea, scones and cupcakes. We opened presents and even played parlor games. It was so sweet and an honor, well, to be honored.

I was there a little early so I could help greet guests, so I got the chance to snap the food photos right away.

Cookies!

Pretty centerpiece:

The afternoon was billed as a tea, so naturally there was tea. And tea cups were the favors for the party, too.

Linda:

Now for the parlor games. Mom gave out these little tissue papers for people to write their wishes for the baby on. You were supposed to burn them and the wishes would disappear into the air, and so come true!

It didn’t really work all that well but it sure was fun. And the ones that didn’t burn, I took home and put in my fireplace to make sure those wishes would come true!

Saying good byes:

What a beautiful afternoon. It was so wonderful to spend time with people who love me, and I was so moved by everyone’s generosity. Thank you so much!
