a milk n' cookies shower

This past weekend, my friend Ellie and I threw a shower for Patti and her sweet son Caleb!
We did a milk n' cookies theme, with some help from good ole Pinterest.

We figured that the "milk" part might be a little juvenile for grown-ups, 
so we did a coffee, tea and hot chocolate bar as well.
Got the idea for chocolate-dipped mallows here and adapted it a bit for the party.
They were super easy & cute - I definitely want to make the peppermint ones later this winter!
We had some delectable cookies - chocolate chip, chocolate crinkle, chocolate mint,
English matrimonials, lemon shortbread and peanut butter blossoms.
I, of course, sampled all of them.
Yum.
In light of the holiday season, rather than play a shower game,
we decided to decorate cookies!
And our favors were sprinkles in cute little jars.
Overall, I was so happy with how everything turned out
and we had such a fun afternoon!

Congrats, Patti! We sure love your family!!
