Jess' baby shower

Today was Auntie Jess' baby shower. Both Auntie Sara and I had planned a lot to make this day special for Auntie Jess. I'm still in awe how Jess is doing so well considering the circumstances. I hope that when Emma is born that she will know how much everyone loves her.

Emma Shin's banner. I made this for Jess so that she can use it to hang in Emma's nursery after she is born.

Jess and I had painted doilies to use instead of streamers. I think it turned out nice.
I used the colour scheme of Jess' baby shower- pink, yellow, and orange.

Here is Auntie Sara prepping the food to go on the table. We tried to make everything an hors d'oeuvres.

This is the wonton cups with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and chives.

These are endives with goat cheese, croutons, and bacon.

This was one of my favourites- french baguette with bocconcini, basil, and cherry tomatoes.

Who doesn't love sliders?

And here is the full table display. Pretty, no?

This is the dessert/candy station.

Auntie Sara made these delicious mini cupcakes. 

And see how everything looks in context.

I seriously think the Han sisters should go into a party planning business!

Another view of the banner.

You Toronto grandpa helped with some dishes as well. She made the sandwiches and the fruit platter.

I designed these flowers with lollipop middles to give out as favours for all the guests. Auntie Jess wrote personalized
notes for everyone and Auntie Sara helped me put these all together.

We had more desserts by the living room area.

Here are the game prizes. I picked these Pantone inspired cups at the Real Canadian Superstore for $2 each.
We stuffed these with candy and Auntie Jess wrapped it in cellophane and tied it with a ribbon and a flower.

Auntie Jess is talking to some of the guests.

Here's Ye-Ah. We knew her when she was in grade 6.
It's kind of amazing how she is now a mom. That's her son David.

Some more guests having fun and chatting.

After the gifts, Auntie Jess shed a tear while she was thanking everyone for coming. She basically was so thankful that
she was able to have a baby shower when the chances of her not carrying her baby to full term were so high.
Praise God!
