Brian & Jessica's Baby Shower


We've come to that exciting time in our lives when more and more of our family and friends are expecting babies.  Our good friends, Brian and Jessica are due with their first baby (a BOY) this September and so we decided it would be fun to get all of our friends together and throw them a Couples Baby Shower.  Our parents (particularly our fathers) were baffled by this concept of a "co-ed" baby shower; however, as you can see from this photo, I really do think the guys had just as much fun as the girls:-)

The object of this game was to be the first to drink their (6oz) beer from a baby bottle.  It took a lot longer than you might think!

Brian and Jessica's nursery is sports themed, so that's the them we chose to go with for the party as well.  Here are a few photos of some of the sports-themed party decorations.

Sports Cake

To make the base of the cake I put together two 9x13 cakes.  The baseball and basketball were used making the Wilton Sports Ball Mold seen here.  It was very easy to use.
We had so much fun hosting the shower and can't wait to meet their new baby boy!  Now that the shower is over, we are focusing our attention on getting ready for our Anniversary Trip to Door County :-) Can't believe that we have been married for nearly a year.  Photos from the trip are soon to follow...
