Candace's baby shower

Brandon's cousin, Candace is pregnant with baby Laney. When Candace told me she was pregnant, I got tears in my eyes. I knew it wouldn't be long but I wasn't expecting it so soon. I have been excited ever since. Little Laney will be living right behind us and I'm sure her and Bailey will be best friends.
{Hopefully they won't gang up on Brayden. lol}
Now to the good stuff....pictures!

Brandon's side of the family and I hosted Candace's beach-themed 
baby shower at our cousin, Cayce's house.

The food table.
Connie {Candace's mom} made the baby carriage. It was sooo cute!
 Candace's last name is Heath; so, I thought it would be cute to do 'baby Heath bars.'
I also did the Hershey candy wrappers to match the theme.



Brandon's mom got all the food together.
 My sister-in-law ordered the beachy cake toppers.

 I made the diaper cake with Laney's initials on it.
Laney Gray Heath






Brandon's mom did the shell centerpieces.

 My S-I-L was gonna make the banner but since she was sick,
me and Brandon's mom made it at the last minute.
It's hard to tell in the picture, but it says "It's a Girl."
I loved how the seahorses and starfish turned out.
 The cake table.
All the presents for baby Laney.
 The beachy umbrella wreath I made for the front door with baby Laney's initial on it.

 Camden {Candace's nephew} decided he wanted to hang out with the girls.
 Some of the ladies...



 Present time!


 We played a game where everyone had to remember these things
and then we covered them up to see what they remembered.
They were all things you would take to the beach with a baby.



 Toni {our cousin} won!
The corsage I made for Candace.
I loved how it turned out. I was pretty impressed because I've never made a corsage before. :0)
 We played another game where Brandon's mom went around with twine and we had to guess how big around Candace's belly was. Most of the women were off but there were a few that got really close.
My mom guessing...
and Toni.

Candace's lil booties and baby doll from when she was a baby.

We passed it around and wrote messages to Candace and baby Laney.

I think the shower turned out exactly how we wanted it to. 
Now, we are just waiting on baby Laney to get here. :0)
