My dear friend Kasey is expecting twin girls in December and we threw her a fabulous baby shower supper to sprinkler her with love, monogrammed gifts, and matching little girl ensembles! Mollie and Adalynn will arrive in approximately two months if Kasey can stand it any longer. Mom-to-be looks great, is still teaching, and says she is feeling good too. So 60 of her nearest and dearest came out to celebrate. I've taken a liking to after work hours soirees...unexpected and everything wonderful mid-week. Weekend parties are so last year.
Please enjoy sister Kelly's beautiful pictures I pressured her into taking for me {with her fancy camera} and a few I took.
we set the tone with vintage baby accessories and "mother" ferns
the sunporch...the bassinet was kelly and kasey's
we strung our old baby dresses in the windows{compliments of the sisters - mc, holly, kelly, and kasey!}
new monogrammed diaper covers...from me and sister
one each with their name in a light green and one each with their monogram in white thread {my favorite}
we served a sweet tea blend and a festive pink champagne and raspberry punch
the dining room
my favorite detail
the spread...delicious chicken tetrazzini {sans the "m" word much to my liking}, a salad with poppyseed dressing, and mini-biscuits {you, know the kind made of sour cream and butter=to die for}
kelly and I were happily in charge of the decor
kasey posing by her marvy cake...her sister-in-law and fellow hostess jennie made it and it was so yummy! the best part was that she modeled the bird motifs from the twins's crib bedding :)

Just darling!!!
I heard that the "m" word was used in the tetrazzini...they just chose not to tell you. :)
LANE GUNTER!!!! you lie!
I almost lost my lunch {which happens to be tetrazzini} reading your mean comment ;)
Ewwww, if it's the "m" word I'm thinking about it makes me want to lose my lunch right now and I didn't even eat tetrazzini! I don't do fungi! But too cute, the shower!!
Haha Mama Byrd thinks it's MUSHROOMS! :) Mary loves mushrooms! LOL
But I'm not going to type what the "m" word REALLY means because this is Mary's blog! Heehee....
MAYONNAISE.
ahem.
Mary Darling,
Please run by Publix and pick up a jar of mayo for me.
Love,
Mom
You are such an excellent hostess. Oh and go ahead and get yourself a camera you'll never regret it!
