Baby Shower!

I am so excited to share these! My friend Lisa helped me plan my baby shower earlier this month. I have a bunch of talented friends and so I pooled them all together and put them to work!

Event Planner: Lisa with Bellissima Vita
Photography: John and Jane Cosner with Cosner Photography
Invitation Design: Sara with Stinkerpants Designs
Flowers and Decor: Me - Huckleberry Karen Designs

A very special thank you to the Cosners for taking the time out of their busy weekend to take these gorgeous pictures. Get ready for some eye candy!!


Shower invites designed by Sara from Stinkerpants Designs.
Sara was also kind enough to give me these illustrations so I can make favor tags, shower games, signs and thank you notes !

Lisa surprised me with a "wish tree" where my friends and family
were able to send "wishes" to the baby. It was so much fun to read them!

My niece wrote this one - I love it!


And of course a very sweet note from soon to be Grandma Burling.


Dahlias and wheatgrass - a lovely combo!
I made diaper cakes for each of the tables. The best part is I have enough diapers
for the baby when he arrives!


Here's a picture of me and my sister Sherry. She helped with the yummy food!



And some pictures of the details...because the details is where the love is :)

The delicious cheesecake
Booties my friend made for the baby.



My friend Nicole made folders for the shower games. Talk about being super organized! She even added the cute little hippo and birdie from the invite :)

And of course there were MANY presents for baby. He's a very lucky baby
to have all of these people love him so much!


Uncle Brian decided to crash the baby shower.
The one present that Ben opened - a Diaper Dude Bag!

I don't know why I am laughing but everything is very funny (or very sad) these days. Something to do with hormones, you think?

Popo (Grandma in Chinese) hanging out

Parenting caught on film. Julie is telling Chris why it's not a good idea to be picking his nose in public. Gong gong (Grandpa in Chinese) is being supportive.

Baby Burling's aunts and cousins!

Ben is practicing his parenting skills.

The face I will make when the baby makes a pee pee in the toilet for the first time

Thanks everyone for such a special baby shower!
