Jocelyn Sees Blue

After two girls, my friend Jocelyn is having a boy, and since boy is something I'm certainly familiar with, I threw a shower for her.

Unfortunately, in the distraction of actually running the shower, I managed to leave my camera inside until we were just about done and it was getting dark!


I went with a bird theme.


Did you know Hershey's makes cookies and creme kisses... and that they come in light blue wrappers? I didn't, until I saw a bag when perusing candy bars for game prizes. Nor did I know that there was such a thing as York Pieces and that they were blue and white. Perfect! Sadly, it wasn't until about 15 minutes after the last guests left that I realized my blueberry yogurt covered pretzels and cinnamon yogurt (white) covered pretzels were still in the pantry. I knew I was forgetting something! The simple table I planned had seemed even more simple than I thought it would be.


Chocolate or butterscotch dipped chow mein noodles make cute nests with yogurt covered raisins for eggs.


Mini cinnamon rolls don't quite look so nest like, but I still gave them cream cheese frosting "eggs."


A simple diaper cake. Doesn't this remind you a little of the carnival game where you try to shoot the moving ducks down?


Yea for baby boys! Congratulations Jocelyn!


And, yes, I did dress like the theme... blue shirt... birds... Just call me cheesy.
