steven got all crafty on me and made diaper/sock cupcakes. they were so cute. i love his craftiness and willingness to help out. we displayed all of the bedding that my mom made, including the quilt, pillows, pillowcases and decorative wall hangings. plus a banner i made out of leftover fabric. we had a 'wishes' for baby card for each guest or family to fill out. some of them turned out pretty cute. and the pictures of little erica and little chris...priceless! i had madi, logan and chris' nephew, brendan, help color onesie cutouts for a banner. personally, cutest decoration there. takes a lot..A LOT for an 18 month old and 2 nearly 3 year olds to help make a banner. they were awesome helpers.
we ate. and ate more. then ate some sweets. a true horman party is not without cupcakes and cookies. no sir. yum. the kids played. and our cousin, emily, won the can't say 'baby' game. yay em! turns out she frequents jamba juice almost daily...lucky girl won herself a gift card :)
all in all...a success.
i can't express without getting all choked up how happy i am for erica and chris. how thankful i am to get to be an aunt to their little one. i was giving a 2 second talk at the shower...you know, thanks for coming...food is ready...and i got all teary. huge knot in my throat. held back the tears. i am just so proud of them.
can't wait to meet you little baby baker!! we love you!!

It looks amazing! We are so excited for them too!! Your shower could have come right off of pinterest. Super duper cute.
I am glad you found my blog...sorry i changed everything and didn't know how to tell everyone. We miss you guys!!
Everything was wonderful and amazing-thanks so much!
the diaper/sock cupcakes were pinterest inspired :) the wishes for baby cards were from some other site i found...and everything else was just me. it was fun.
