Today was Dana's baby shower. It's a marathon post with lots of photos... but I couldn't leave any out. What an amazing day full of excitement for Dana and Nick to become parents to Elle Julianne. Elle will be the first granddaughter on the Hughie side and the first grandchild for The Everetts (Nick's family).
Elle is all set with everything she could ever need and lots of fun treats too!
Many of Dana's friends from Sisters High School were able to attend. Sidney, Chelsea and Lucy and Dana have known each other for over ten years.
My friends Tirza, Lindsey and Olivia were here to celebrate with us. Tirza has a new baby boy, Weston Lee.
West was quite the popular dude today. Everybody wanted to hold him. He was all smiles and is such a mellow and happy little guy!
Janice and I had a fun time with the decorations. We made photo frames and candles with baby pictures of Dana, Nick, and their parents. I also found a very interesting piece of history ~ a baby care book from 1942... my how times have changed!
Dana's Mother-in-Law, Julie (who will soon be a Grammie and is Elle's middle names namesake) made an awesome candy bar.
There were even personalized M&M's! Too cute!
A delicious strawberry and champagne cake
And yummy catering from Tate and Tate in Central Oregon.
We had some fun shower games, including trivia from
Legally Blonde. Dana fell in love with the name Elle after watching Elle Woods in
Legally Blonde.
