baby shower. in a box.

One of my best friends, Katie, had her baby a few weeks ago.

In Idaho.

A state away.

Which, of course, meant I had to wait until school was out until I could go visit my first niece (blood-realted or not, no one else in my family is making me an aunt any time soon... it's about time I get to be an aunt!)

Since Kae decided to move to Idaho while she was pregnant, we never got to throw her a baby shower.

It was a little depressing.

I got a genius idea (that was actually from my own head and NOT from Pinterest) to do a baby shower in a box for her and do a post-baby shower for her when Janae and I got up to Idaho (we left our husbands home to play with each other while we road-tripped it up together).

Introducing a Baby Shower in a Box...

 [box from Target $5]

 [Green sixlets and polka-dot napkins, Zurchers]

[Headband, Quilted Bear]

 [balloons from Zurchers]

 [mini glass milk jars and striped yellow paper straws, Zurchers]

 [green and white polka-dot containers, Zurchers]

 [Giraffe pajamas, Target]

 [same pajamas, Target]

[Jingle-y beaded socks, made by my Mom]

 [Yellow striped paper straws again, Zurchers]

So so so much fun to put together!  Kate loved it and I can't wait to see little Nat in her giraffe pajamas (once she grows into them, of course).

I'm an aunt!
