NY shower

I have the most creative & talented friends and family in the world, I'm pretty positive.
The decor was all vintage books/world themed... super cute.
A HUGE thank you to Victoria, Manda, Katie & Caitlin for all their hard work!

1:: mini blocks spelling bonsa! amazing pinwheels made by cait. amazing cupcakes made by manda.
2:: another shot of the cool pinwheels.
3&4:: adorable beverage signs made by katie.
5:: scrumptious cake with adorable mini book banner by manda.
6:: favor table. mini pies. cute bookmarks that say:
"children are made readers in the laps of their parents." - emilie buchwald
7:: gorgeous, GORGEOUS bouquets, courtesy of flower fields forever.
8:: and what are those bouquets in? why, cute book vases, of course.
9:: elephant mobile made from book pages.
10:: yummy cucumber sammies made by victoria.
11:: a game where victoria made me close my eyes and see if i could guess the baby food...
by eating and smelling.
12, 13 & 14:: opening gifts... and apparently something was really tickling my funny bone. 
15:: mom's gift bag. this verse was written on the wall of the orphanage where bonsa lived.

      i knew someone was going to say something about that!
      actually, those were the bananas that i didn't have to taste because i guessed ahead of time.
      i was just smelling them, per victoria's suggestion. :)
      NOT A CHEATER.
