Amanda's Baby Shower

On Saturday, Cathy and I with some help from a couple of girls at work had a shower for our friend Amanda. Amanda is due on Thanksgiving and we can't wait to meet her little guy.
As always, Cathy did an amazing job. She tied in fall decorations with Amanda's nursery theme of Turtle Bay. It was a fun shower and everyone had a great time. Somehow we used my camera for all the set up, and Cathy's camera for the actual shower and guests. So I have no pictures of the mom to be, but thought I would share the decorations!

I decided to do something a little different for a gift, and made a "Baby's First Year" scrapbook album. I can't take full credit for the idea though. My friend Jessica has made several of them in the past couple of years. Each monthly section has a calendar of that month so you can mark special things that happened and then 3 pages to display pictures or items from that month. It's fun because you can personalize it for the couple. Amanda and Regan are taking the baby to Hawaii in June, so that was the theme for that month. And Regan LOVES St. Patrick's Day and Amanda LOVES 4th of July, so I made sure those months were all about those holidays. For it being my first one, I think it turned out pretty well. Here are a couple of pages plus the card I made.
