Step Right Up!! (picture heavy)

Last Saturday (3/31/12) was our baby shower and it was the most amazing day!! My Mom and 2 Sisters hosted it and did the most incredible job. I think they should submit it to Kara's Party Ideas (have you guys seen this website yet, beautiful parties!)

The theme was the Circus and it was just what we wanted! It turns out J is a little partial to her theme's and ix-nayed a bunch of them. The theme was known to us but nothing else was so we were truly surprised when we walked in the door. It was like really walking into a circus tent!


























There was a balloon arch over the door...



A circus tent over the gift table…













Pennant banners crisscrossing the living room and a welcome baby banner…















Balloons hanging over the bar…




















A gorgeous dessert table...













Complete with cookies…




















Candy…




















Cupcakes…




















And Brownies (look at that adorable “G” too)…




















A beverage station…














Fun and yummy circus food and cute utensil bundles…
























Centerpieces on the tables and the food bar…




















And our own tent for opening our gifts…



















Popcorn, Peanuts, Lemonade???




















We had so much fun playing the games, these were during the "How well do you know the Mommies" game. We held up the answers and everyone would shout in happiness or disbelief. 















We were spoiled with SO many gifts and enjoyed opening every single one. We had to go fairly quickly so people wouldn't get bored and we ended up going through everything again once we got it home. It was very overwhelming having it all in his room though, we just kept looking at it and saying "what do we do now!"
