Showering Baby Ritt... :)

Last Saturday, it was finally time to shower  Baby Ritt!! :) We had all been looking forward to this shower and it was the perfect, beautiful October afternoon to celebrate a much loved baby! :) 

Here were the cute invitations we chose from Tiny Prints...

love that website!

Since the Ritter's are not finding out whether 

the baby is a boy or a girl, 

we wrote a poem asking guests to choose 

a blue cookie or a pink cookie 

depending on what they thought the baby would be...

*Thank you to my wonderful Tennessippi friend, Sarah Ann,
for her creative writing skills*

These were the cutest and most delicious cookies! 

Compliments of a wonderful local bakery called Baked! 

(Ashley was great to work with and her cookies were wonderful!!)

They were individually wrapped baby carriages 

adorned with a "R"...

and for people who are keeping count, 

at the end of the shower we were almost 

out of baby boy cookies...

looks like most people are betting on a boy for The Ritts!! )

Tiers of tea sandwiches and fruit were brought to each of the guests' tables as Kaneil opened gifts...

Yummy fruit...

The shower was at a Tea Company in Germantown, so each guest had the option to enjoy a fresh cup of tea...

(Thank you for letting me snap a pic of your teacup, Caroline Murphree... :)

Kaneil and most of the hostesses... :) 

Leslie came all the way in from NYC to celebrate Baby Ritt... :) 

So, one of the cutest parts of the day was when Kaneil gave us our hostesses gifts!!

She made these cute "cookie kits" for each of us with the ingredients for delicious Cowboy/Cowgirl Cookies!

I cannot wait to try these!! 

So creative Kaneil! :) 

After the shower, 

we went to The Ritts house to help Kaneil unload the gifts...

a.k.a. to have an excuse to spend time in the nursery and continue the baby celebration... :) 

Look at these sweet gowns for Baby Ritt...

More sweet and cute gifts...

(Thank you for your creative display of gifts Betsy Curran...are you in advertising?)

Betsy with a stroller...LOVE this look on her!! Don't you?? :) 

The shower was just the beginning of the celebration for Baby Ritt! We are all so excited for Andrew and Kaneil! They are going to be wonderful parents and Whit and I are looking forward to babysitting for their sweet baby!! :) Thank you for letting us be a part of this special time!! Lots of Love to The Ritts! :)

Hope everyone has had a wonderful November weekend and enjoyed that extra hour of sleep this morning!! :) Happy Sunday!
