Thursday, October 27th, I had a very important baby shower to give. A good friend finally had a baby boy after 3 older sisters. So, we went with an “Heir the the throne” theme. Since it was only 2 days after getting home from a 2 week trip, I enlisted another friend to help with the food. So, invitations went out…

The poem read:

The clock struck midnight, the spell did not break

An heir to the throne, finally, for Pete’s sake!

But with three little princesses, what’s a prince to do?

Throughout the whole castle, not one boy hue.

So throughout the kingdom, was sent a request,

Please join us for the Prince’s shower, please be our guest.

The food spread was delicious. We had mini tacos, stuffed mushrooms, toasted bread with a spread, cheese ball and crackers, vegetable tray, and cookies. (Waters were held in a baby bath.)

For dessert, we had white and milk chocolate plus lots of treats to dip.

We also had a place to write a note for baby Slade. These were taken from a friend’s baby shower, but were such a good idea, I had to borrow it. The cards said things like, “Always remember,” “I hope you,” “I hope you become…” I had a little book for her to put the cards in later.

I had a list of questions about Slade as a little quiz. He was about 6 weeks old when we had the shower.

(This was a lady from the ward holding him. Not related by any means.)

As everyone was leaving, they could get a chocolate covered pretzel. There were mint chocolate pretzels and white chocolate covered pretzels. I think everyone had a good time, and she received lots of blue to counter the pink in her house.
