Baby Sprinkle!

We had my baby "sprinkle" last Sunday, and it turned out beautifully. We called it a sprinkle because I already have most of my baby necessities from our first, but I just needed a few extra boy things like clothes, blankets, burp cloths etc. We invited family and a few close friends and had a great time enjoying each others company. My mom and sister threw it for me at my sister's house and the decorations were beautiful, the food was yummy, and I especially loved the cake pops, which I actually helped my sister make. Those are not for the faint of heart! They were fun to make, but very time consuming and a little messy. But they turned out sooo cute and were absolutely delicious! Other fun things were an Ice Cream Sundae station, a college fund piggy bank game, and setting a timer while I was opening presents and whenever the timer went off whom ever's gift I was opening got a prize.

Trying to squirm away from mamma...

Jordan stopped by at the end to help pack things up...

It was so nice to get all the presents, and I definitely am feeling a little more prepared and ready for this little guy to arrive. I received all the things I needed to finish the nursery, like my bedding, changing pad and cover, laundry hamper and lots of clothes and blankets. Now I just need to get it all organized! I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped and came, I really feel so blessed, Thank you!!

Just in case you were wondering, I took some pictures of how to make Cake Pops...

You bake a simple box cake according to directions and allow to cool (we used a vanilla and chocolate cake), then crumble the cake into a bowl and mix with a can of cream cheese frosting (with your hands, it gets messy). Next you roll the mixture into quarter size balls and chill for a few hours. Add the Popsicle sticks, dip into melted chocolate, add sprinkles, and allow to dry upright. We stuck them into a Styrofoam board which my sister later decorated.

...Delicious and adorable!!
