~Heidi's Baby Shower~

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to help out with my sister-in-law’s baby shower down in Junction City! Baby Cole (our second nephew) is due on December 13, so it won’t be too long until we are celebrating his arrival. We can’t wait to meet him.

One of the things I provided for the shower was party favors, so I wanted to do something fun and unique…and yummy as well! So I made some decorative cake balls. We had chocolate fudge cake with chocolate icing, dipped in dark chocolate. Some of those also had yummy coconut flakes on the top. The other option was confetti cake with vanilla icing, dipped in dark chocolate. Those were topped with sprinkles. They turned out so so so good, even though we had to practically clear out our freezer in the process.
I didn’t have the camera out much during the shower, but I was able to snap a few photos of Heidi. We played the “string game” where each lady cuts a length of string that she thinks will fit perfectly around the momma-to-be’s belly. The closet one wins a prize. Aunt Margie was almost spot on – she won the prize for that game! In addition to games, Heidi was able to open lots of wonderful gifts that she was showered with by her family and friends.
We are always thankful to see our family when we are down there as well. We got to have some cuddle time with our nephew, Reid, who is now close to 2 months old. He is just such a sweetheart…and very loved by his Uncle Dustin! By the end of the night, we were pretty pooped out as a group.
