Alyssa's Baby Shower

On Saturday we hosted a baby shower for Alyssa. Mom and I had so much fun planning and making the decorations.
I decided on a turquoise, yellow, and orange theme since we don't know the baby's gender yet. I also wanted something different than the traditional pastel colors.

Everything turned out so cute!

Party favors were oreo cookies on a stick, dipped in white chocolate,

and decorated like a baby rattle.

Opening presents...

Some of our cutests guests!

Hopefully everyone had a fun time, and we're all looking forward to meeting baby Hemmer!

Baby On The Way!

We're quite excited...to meet the newest addition to the Hemmer family in May!

Aren't they cute? And I must say, my sister-in-law is beautiful!

Thank you to Danielle Schuler, Grace Creations Photography, for the lovely photos.

Dancing and Fancy Hairdos

Last weekend our friends, the Lewis family, decided to host an English Country dance in honor of Mariah's birthday. They decided that any type of costume would be fun, so we saw flappers, princesses, colonial era costumes, poodles skirts, and more.

All of the girls requested fancy hairstyles, and I happily complied.

I love designing pretty curls and updos.

I ended up getting six hairstyles done in less than four hours - not too bad!

It was the first time they and most of their friends have ever danced before, and they all did a great job! Everyone had a wonderful time and we're all anxious to do it again.
