Hayley's Baby Shower Brunch

This weekend my whole family was in town and staying with us for a wedding so we decided it would be the perfect time to have a baby shower for my little sister too!  Talk about a wild weekend, but it all came together perfectly.  Many hands make light work, and I was thankful to have so much help with this shower.  We decided on a brunch theme with pinks and gold and white.  I really wanted to use my the dishes that my grandmother gave me (apparently they were my great-grandmothers).

Strawberry wafers with white chocolate and gold sprinkles..
no, they are not supposed to look like 2 pink lines on a pregnancy test

Who doesn't love a good cookie cake?

Fruit and yogurt parfaits

I could not resist buying this adorable elephant for the baby's room and a centerpiece of course

Thanks to everyone who came out to make this shower such a success and bless baby Smolen!  My mom did a great job taking pictures on her new camera even if that meant she didn't enjoy the shower as a typical guest.  We had such a great time this weekend being with family and soaking up the time together.
