Throwing Baby Alise a Shower

It was such a joy to host a baby shower for Erik and Cheriss ... well, mostly for Cheriss. They've decided on a name (for now). Alise Paige Faiola. What a beautiful name right? Though, I'm not sure that the spelling has been fully decided on so don't quote me on that (Alyse? Alise?).

We did a crafty DIY baby shower, complete with a DIY Mimosa station and a bountiful food set up for lots of Sunday morning nibbles.

 The DIY Oneside Painting station was a hit. We had white onesies of all sizes for everyone to paint, including baby Lily.

Grandma and Cheriss worked hard to get Lily's handprint on the a shirt.

It turned out great!

We also had an advice station - and a DIY Bath Fizzy station for treats for everyone to take home.

Of course, that wasn't it; there was soap to take home for everyone who attended and handmade herb gardens too!

The weather held for us and we were all so happy to give Cheriss positive wishes (and such cute presents) as she starts the next stage in her life as a Mom.

Of course, with all the practice she has with Lily (and Jamisen), we already know that she's going to be an active, happy Mom.

Congratulations Erik and Cheriss. We can't wait to be the best Aunt and Uncle ever ... with the best cousins!
