Tonight we had Hillary's NW AR shower at my house. It was a lot of fun and Hillary got a lot of nice things. (Warning - lots of pictures to follow)
The drink area. I have gotten a lot of use out of my drink dispenser so far. I've made this same punch for several showers and it's really good. All you do is take a couple of bags of frozen mixed berries (or any kind you like). Blend it up in a blender to a liquid form and add several spoonfuls of sugar and then add any liquid you like. I use rasberry ginger ale - but I'm sure plain or Sprite would work as well.
Hillary's wedding colors are green and black. I got these petit fours with her new monogram.
The food table - besides the petit fours, bunco buns and fruit kabobs - I had some mini quiches and Shannon brought spinach dip and queso and salsa from her family's restaurant Bizy's.

Hillary's sister and mom (they read my blog so I want to give them a special "hello"!!!)

Hillary and her hostesses (minus our friend Megan who lives in NC) - Laurie, Hillary, me and Shannon
Hillary gave us the cutest hostess gifts EVER - monogrammed umbrellas. I absolutely love it but I can't use it because I don't want it to get wet. ha!
Hillary also gave me an early present for baby H! These burp cloths are ADORABLE!!!!!!I'm just so glad to see Hillary getting married soon. I prayed for her for a long time to find a husband and God out did himself on this one! She's marrying a great guy. But of course - he's getting a great girl! Now I just can't wait for the wedding! :-)

It looks like you had a great turnout! I love the drinky dispenser - where did you get that? It's so unique! I hope that you're feeling well!
You guys did such a great job on the decorating and the food! I can't wait to try the little sandwiches!
Monogramming the umbrella was such a great idea!
I'm so excited for you! You already have that special glow about you! :) I say a prayer for you and Scott each time you come to mind!
I'm still mad at myself for not chasing you down at Branson Landing! Ha!

Okay, I have been looking... and looking... and LOOKING for a drink dispenser similar to the one you have - glass, etc. So, any tips? Where did you find yours?
You sure do know how to throw a good shower - and boy do you have lots to throw and go too! Just think, it'll be your turn soon! How exciting. I loved, as alwasy, the decorations, the food, it all look so yummy and fun! And what a great hostess gift idea! I have to file that one away for later use!
I can already hear Will yelling at me because if that were my umbrella, I think I'd leave it out like that ALL THE TIME!!!!

I love those burp cloths. That is actually the fabric I used for my little boy's bedding. I love it. The shower looked awesome. And I love those umbrella's.
That umbrella is just too cute!
I love reading about the showers you throw - such great ideas and so nice. I also love reading about BABY gifts for you! How fun!
You always throw the best parties! Thanks for the recipes! I'm throwing a baby shower for my sister and best friend in a few weeks, so I can't wait to try some of your shower foods!
And how adorable are the umbrellas?!?!
That looks like seriously the cutest shower ever.
And the most adorable umbrella ever. Maybe you could use the umbrella when it's not raining...you know, like a parasol...so it doesn't get wet.
I'm totally kidding.
