Baby Shower for the Tiny Girl

Felicity is due in just eight days!  We can hardly wait for the arrival of the Tiny Girl!  Today, Colette and I hosted a baby shower for her.  Snow was softly falling throughout the party.  About twenty friends came for the baby shower brunch.  The party had a Valentine’s Day theme.

- The Menu -

Mini Pancakes with Orange-Vanilla Marscapone and Homemade Raspberry Syrup

Mini Strawberry Yogurt Parfaits with Homemade Apple Granola

A Trio of Quiches

Chocolate Dipped Giant Strawberries

Chocolate Macarons

Maple-Dijon Chicken Salad in Phyllo Cups

Valentine M&M’s

Orange Juice

Orange and Raspberry Infused Water

Coffee

Tea

Colette came up with the menu based around the concept of “little foods”.  She made the pancakes, which were beautiful, as well as delicious!

People, big and small, were eager to eat.

There was lots of visiting and laughter and games.

And then it was present time!

Our gift for the Tiny Girl was a christening gown!  We all attend church together at a reformed church that practices, as has most of Christendom throughout the centuries, infant baptism.  Hopefully, this will become an heirloom used by any other girls the Lord blesses them with, and then be passed down through the generations.
