Britta's Baby Shower

This past Saturday I co-hosted a baby shower at my house for my good friend Britta. Brittney and Kaitlin helped plan and execute the party, and we had too much fun doing it. Sam accidentally deleted the pictures of the party off of our camera, so Britta saved the day with these photos she snapped. Thanks Britta! Here are the party details complete with links: 

Food

//Cafe Rio sweet pork salad copycat recipe (if you live in Utah you know how amazing Cafe Rio is)

//Cookies from Sweet Tooth Fairy (Another Utah favorite) 

//gluten-free cupcakes (recipe here from an earlier blog post)

//Sweet Pink Lemonade 

Games

//Guess the baby food flavor (surprisingly difficult...and gross)

//Guess the size of Britta's belly with a string

//Pin the sperm on the egg (hilarious! Brittney did such a good job making the uterus and sperm cute, too!)

//Tinkle in a pot (this one was my favorite... it's the one where I have the balloon in my shirt and I'm squatting with a ping pong ball between my knees...in case you were wondering what in the world that was all about! haha!) 

The food was yummy, the games were hilarious (thank you Pinterest!) and Britta walked away with a lot of good baby stuff--A.K.A enough cute clothes to ensure that her baby will be the most stylish around for months to come. Overall it was such a fun get together! Many thanks to Brittney and Kaitlin for all your help, and to Britta for being an awesome friend and letting me host it at my house! I love these girls and I'm so glad I was part of celebrating little baby Anderson-- I can't wait to meet her! 

Oh and some cute pictures of Klair that Britta snapped :) 

Things That Make Me Say Yay || 01

Kaylie Marie gave me the idea for this series that I'm going to start doing. I think it will be a great way to keep track of all those little happy things in life that I want to remember.

So, without further ado, here are the things that have been making me say "yay" lately:

|| This straw fedora that I found at Target. I'm totally crushing on it. I imagine myself over-wearing it this summer. Style post to come very soon.
|| The fact that the trees in my yard are starting to flower. Spring cannot come fast enough.
|| The way that my daughter mimics me. We got into a "wow" "uhm" "what" exchange while strolling through Target the other day. She's my little echo.
|| How much Klair likes loves peanut butter and honey sandwiches. She's becoming a kid, and it's surprisingly fun.
||Along those lines, going to the park with my toddler. She has transformed from a baby during the warm weather days of last fall into a little girl this spring. Playing outside has never been so enjoyable.
||The Fuji apples I picked up at Costco the other day. I'm kind of an apple snob (I won't touch red delicious with a ten foot pole) and these apples... they might as well call them candy. Perfection.
|| Dancing around the house with Klair to my Ingrid Michaelson Pandora station. My girl can groove.
|| The romper that I bought for Klair. It isn't quite warm enough yet, but a mom can dream... right? I can't wait to see those chubby little legs "rompin'" around!
|| How excited baby girl gets when her dada comes home everyday. She squeals, runs to the stairs, and refuses to let him go once he's home. She a daddy's girl through and through.
|| Spending a Friday night in with my husband. Free from any distractions we ate sugary cereal, cuddled, got caught up on all our shows (a.k.a. watched way too much TV), and stayed up late talking about life.
|| Also, how much my sweet husband did this weekend while I was feeling under the weather. He took care of the babe, cleaned the house, and made me dinner. He even took Klair on a daddy-daughter date to Chuck-E-Cheese so I could have some alone time (hence the last picture). I'm spoiled.

In my effort to repay him, I just made some gluten-free brownies with homemade buttercream frosting. Yeah, that just happened. Because calories don't count after 10:00 at night, right? Yeah, pretty sure that's how it works...
