When you have your first baby, you are given a party where gifts are bestowed upon you like rain. It’s called a shower and it is supposed to set you up in preparation with the things you and your newborn will need. Of course, by the time the next baby comes around you (most likely) still have all of the major items you need, plus experience so the transition is much easier. However, isn’t fun to celebrate the new baby anyway? And what mother wouldn’t mind a couple new onesies, stocking up on diapers and a few new outfits! Enter the “Sprinkle,” a gathering in honor of a mother-to-be (again) and the new baby. It is especially fun when the first born was, as in this case, a girl and the next arrival is a boy. Because it’s fun (and honestly refreshing) to add a little blue to the waves of pink. The theme of this party was woodland. The cake looked like a log and was adorned with forest animals.
It’s perfect for this time of year, when there is a little chill in the air… and we can bust out the lumberjack inspired flannels.
Mom and dad (and uncle) to-be.
The restaurant is a rustic lodge inspired eatery with open log beams and buffalo plaid covered stools. The centerpieces, made by Aunt Rachel and Uncle Ryan (from a fallen tree right in their back yard), were like something you could find along the edge of a picture perfect forest.
The cake wasn’t the only place the little woodland animals showed up.
True to a hike in the woods, everyone got to take home a couple varieties trail mix.
We can’t wait to meet you Maxwell!
Yes can’t wait! Such a beautiful, blessed family! Praise God for his wonderful gifts!!
