This past Saturday we had the BEST BABY PARTY of ALL TIME! What is a Baby Party you ask? It's everything opposite of a baby shower. It's not just women but women, men and lots of children! You don't just sit down and stare at me while I open gifts, instead you mingle, play corn hole, drink beer and hang out outside. Instead of cucumber sandwiches without crust you have Mexican food and lots of it. Instead of punch & nuts, you have pink lemonade, wine, and cake that the woman who did your wedding cake made and lots of cupcakes. I knew that I didn't want a baby shower early on. Instead I wanted a true party and celebration with our family and friends to celebrate this gift of a life that we'll be welcoming in July. I'm SO thankful for friends who went above & beyond to make this a truly special occasion. I'm also thankful for friends who love me even though I have become a full fledged baby diva. This party was everything and MORE than I dreamed it to be and it was a ton of fun!
No Craig party can start without a sign from Todd- PAISLEY FEST.
The theme? Cowgirl. The details? INSANE! Bobbie made pink lemonade in mason jars and cutest cupcake holder. Geraldean had the cutest stickers & signs for everything.
Cupcakes & cowgirl cake were to die for!
Fresh flowers & pink bandannas lined the tables.
Candice's Cowgirl Butter Cake (with recipe & 2 lbs of flour & sugar) were the party favors.
Lots of gifts to open later.
And what's a party without Sunset Slush? Kaleena arranged for Matt to come and was it was a huge hit! Even had some left over koozies from our wedding that we put to use.
Some old baby pictures emerged and just like Todd predicted- his were in black & white!!!
The weather was perfect- couldn't have been better.
Mamma T flew in from TX.
Todd's family came in from Atlanta & FL.
There were lots of friends on hand.
Lots of kiddos on hand!
One crazy baby daddy who tried to eat the entire "boot" topping of the cake.
Lots of boots!
And a few hats!
The party was a lot of work for a lot of people & I'm truly grateful. You made this one happy mama!!!! Thank you! Thank you!
We love you guys!
Todd, Candice & Paisley
