THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Kellan's Baby Shower

My very beautiful and talented friend Kelly, had a new baby boy about a month ago.  Kellan Patrick is absolutely gorgeous!  She recently moved about 30 minutes south of us, so we don't get to see each other as often as I'd like.  That being said, Kristen and I decided to throw her a baby shower/ going away party/ birthday party, to let her know how much we love and miss her.  What do you get a Mom who is the mother of 3 boys???  That was the big question.  So we decided to give Kelly a BOOK shower to help their family library grow a little larger!

We had an ice cream bar with a storybook theme and it was so much fun to put together.  

4 flavors of ice cream...


And tons of toppings!





Story book decor

And amazing weather!

You should be a professional party planner. What a good idea, and the decorations and refreshments are awesome.

Oh my gosh Martha! I can't believe that! Super creative! I love the little cards on all the toppings with little storybook phrasing. Seriously adorable book garland too! Awesome.
