Melissa's Baby Shower

Baby Dane is already one loved little boy!  Desiree put together a fantastic baby shower with the help of Melissa Martin (yes, there are TWO Melissa's!) for Melissa and soon-to-be Baby Dane!  I was pleasantly surprised to see all the detail that Desiree put into the gathering.  She really has an eye for event planning and there's no question why she is starting her own business!  There was detail in EVERYTHING!!  To the very smallest corners, water stands, and decorations.  It was all covered!!  I was the designated photographer (due to left cameras and non-working SD cards).  Since it's my blog, I will only post pictures that really pertain to me, but stay tuned for more pictures elsewhere, I'm sure!  Luckily, Josh got off early and picked up Charlotte on his way home from work.   

When Brady saw Charlotte, his eyes got big yelled, "Baby Charlotte!" ran over and gave her a big hug!

My dessert- individual trifles.  I hope everyone liked them.  My first attempt.  I was very nervous.  Thanks Rach for guiding me.  I think they turned out okay!
