| What an adorable spread Nicole made! |
 |
| How sweet is this girl cupcake onezie cake?!? It was also very delicious! Peyton had a few cupcakes... |
 |
| Monkey diaper cake, tic tac baby girl bottle party favors, and a few monkeys thrown in for good measure. |
 |
| The party scene. |
 |
| Tasty mini quiches, salami rockets, turkey wraps, the famous Mama Angeloni meatballs, veggies and dip, crackers and jalapeno artichoke dip, sherbert punch, and pretty water. Mmm...so full from "sampling" all day! |
 |
| The tower of dirty diapers for the "chocolaty goodness" game where you can use whatever senses necessary to determine which candy bar is melted inside the mystery diaper. (Some tasted, some smelled, some touched...it was entertaining...but it all looked rather nasty and easily believed most were little "baby droppings!") |
 |
| Me, well I stuck to the "smelling" sense of the game to try and win...did NOT work, I think I only got THREE right. We also played "finish the nursery rhyme" and the "don't say this/don't do that" safety pin game which I was also not very good at, but enjoyed playing! |
 |
| Everyone read some advice or wishes for our family and Peyton and then we all released balloons in Peyton's honor. |
 |
| So pretty to watch them being released...what a special moment to honor our little girl on the way! Everyone had such kind words to share and it made me get all teared up. Oddly enough, the green balloons were all at the top of the pack and the pink balloons stayed lower...all you science nuts out there...any explanation? |
 |
| Nikki and Mikee had an entire toy chest and box of stuff for little monkey...this was just one of the items in their package. |
 |
| Nicole's husband Todd shared this hilarious t-shirt with Tony...it reads: GAME OVER with a picture of a baby in a game type style/logo. Ahhh, too funny! |
 |
| A diaper stacker from Miss Meghan... |
 |
| ...and a lot of diapers to go with it!!! We will definitely use these! |
 |
| A set of organic baby clothes all made from recycled items and a Target gift card from the Berger-Gertz and Thouati families (Berkeley crew). |
 |
| A frog bath toy scooper/caddy from the Brown girls. This really does make bath time so much more enjoyable! |
 |
| This is a patch of "grass" to use as a bottle/baby dishes drying rack-from the Mahlke/Angeloni women. |
 |
| And, contrary to the entertaining prospect of using it as a "potty trainer" for Miss Peyton (as Talia had thought it was), it will ONLY be used to dry dishes...but it sure was funny picturing putting her cheaky buns on that little patch to watch her "do her business!" |
 |
| This IS in fact for potty training. Darcie and Anne got Peyton a musical toilet that celebrates with music whenever the sensor detects a "#1 or #2" submission...how fun is THIS going to be?!? |
 |
| The new nanny family got us some adorable bath time toys complete with caddy, monkey and dot wall decals to play with. So sweet and we'll really enjoy playing with these! |
 |
| My mom had shipped a secret surprise for Peyton to Nicole's house: a Radio Flyer wagon! So excited to use this on our walks around the neighborhood! |
 |
| Nicole got us a wonderful keepsake where the frame has molds for a newborn footprint, hand print, and picture of Miss Peyton. So excited to do this when monkey arrives! Nicole also got her a monkey outfit and threw us this amazing baby shower! We can never say thank you enough! |
 |
| Peyton's "booty" at the end of the shower. Thank you to everyone who made a trip out on their busy weekend to celebrate our little girl and growing family! We are so blessed to have you in our lives and can't wait for you to meet our little girl! |
 |
| All of our little princess's new outfits. We are so happy you shared in our day with us and it was so nice to show you the nursery, our house, and my ever growing belly! We had such a fun day! |
Love to all of you friends and family and especially to Miss Nicole tonight! Thank you for an awesome shower and to all of our wonderful friends for helping welcome Peyton into our family! You all made today so special and we will think of you every moment we spend together!!!
