Our sweet friend Rebecca is expecting a baby in a few weeks, and our friend Katie asked me to help her with decorations for a baby shower to celebrate the upcoming arrival her baby boy.
Apparently baby showers are primarily an American event. Rebecca said that in the U.K. they are beginning to be popular, but she had never attended one and did not want attention lavished upon her. We assured her that we Americans LOVE throwing baby showers and buying baby gifts we promised her no silly games or forcing her to be the center of attention.
We had quite and international event, and most of our friends who are not from the U.S. had never attended a baby shower, to include the mom-to-be, and her mom, who was in town for a visit (which is partly why this date was chosen). I believe we had guests from Germany, Poland, Spain, Estonia, Sweden, and of course the U.K., one Scottish and three English.
Here a few photos of the fun.

| Of course I had to make cheese straws. No Southern shower is complete without cheese straws. |
 |
| The nursery is a nautical theme, so Katie chose that for the shower theme as well. I think this might be one of my favorite diaper cakes I've ever done! |
 |
| Biggest hit? Buffalo chicken dip. Go figure! |
 |
| She did not want to be the center of attention, but we did convince her to open gifts and I think she rather enjoyed it. |

| Dear friends: Mom-to-be Rebecca and hostess Katie |
