Little Man Levi

Saturday Emily and I hosted a Diapers and Desserts shower for Kelsey!  We went with the tie/bow tie theme for the party and I loved how it turned out.  It was all hands on deck to get the house ready, Chloe helped set things out…

We made sure little Levi was dressed appropriately for the party :)

Keeping with the diaper theme, we had everyone leave a note for the parents to be in diapers.

I love this idea, a little note of encouragement/love to get them through one of the MANY diapers changes!

The mom-to-be has been craving chocolate milk lately so we made sure we had it on hand, can’t let the guest of honor not have what she wants!

The guests were greeted with a tie wreath.  I’m in love with this wreath and plan on using it for fathers day in the future!

Kelsey has a strong love for sushi so we made these really cute rice krispie treat ‘sushi’ for her

Debo picked up these really yummy mini cupcakes from Ally & Eloise, a new bakery in Forest Acres.  They were amazing, and will definitely go back again!

Callie LOVES her some Aunt Kelsey, and I know the feeling is mutual!

Me and the mom to be!

Everyone placed their gifts in a bassinet that was lent to me when Callie was born.  The girls loved playing with it with their baby dolls before everyone got there

This one definitely enjoyed all the attention she got from a house full of girls

Kelsey was a trouper in letting these two help open her gifts.  She stocked up on lots of diapers and wipes

as well as some cute things for Levi!

All the girls in Kelsey’s life!  Little Levi won’t stand a chance with all of these ladies!

We had a blast and so happy she got so many diapers, I feel like you can never have enough! 

Now the countdown begins!  Only a few weeks away from Levi’s birthday and I cannot wait to meet him!  Baby fever here I come!
