New Babies & Playgroup

Our friend Jade from playgroup just had a new baby girl Gabriella.  To celebrate her arrival we had a surprise diaper shower for her here at my house yesterday.  I had so much fun preparing for it.  I was able to make the baby carriage cupcakes I had been wanting to try along with the paper pom balls that I'll also make for Addison's birthday party.  Randi Lynn made the cutest baby carriage out of a watermelon and the best punch I've had in a long time.  It was made with orange sherbet and reminded me of the orange julius drinks you used to get at the mall.  It's still in my fridge!  Even though its all melted, it's still delish!!  Jada (not to be confused with Jade the guest of honor) made some yummy sugar cookies - thanks for the recipe J!  Can't wait to try them.

Sweet baby feet :)













After goodies and gifts, we headed out for some fun in the sunshine.













































Nothing like a mama's shoulder













On a final note Addison has decided what she wants to be when she grows up.  She wants to work with Nana in the Operating Room. 


















Sorry for the quality of the shot - it was taken with my cell phone.  If you missed yesterday's post on Addison's new found fashion sense, scroll on down and check it out.  As soon as Addison wakes up from her nap we are off to enjoy this beautiful day outside!  Check back soon :)
