Baby Love

I had so much fun helping my cute Japanese neighbor have a baby shower.
Kumiko told me that in Japan it is not a custom to have a baby shower,
so I am really happy that we got to "shower" her with some love.

Here are the invitations. I thought since it was winter, a snowflake theme
would be fun. It says:
"As soft as the snow that falls from above, a baby waits to fill our hearts with love."

I asked my friend Rachelle (who likes to make cakes as a hobby)
if she could create a cake that I saw online.

it turned out PERFECT!

Centerpiece - stole some branches from a church party,
sprayed them a light coat of white and glitter and
hung pink and white snowflakes from the branches...
as well as some little babies- like the ones the Stork brings.

Borrowed another friends Cricut machine to make
lots of pretty snowflakes to hang from the ceiling.

We enjoyed a delicious spread of food. Kumiko made
Sushi rice and it was delicious!

Then we played some games...

Guess how many diapers? (in the tote) 274!



How big is Kumiko's belly? (about as big as my big toe!)



This was a fun game. We looked through magazines and clipped
out, cut and pasted what we all think the baby will look like...

Oh! The other game we played was Baby Name Scategories.



It was a lovely, lovely shower.
