Monkey Themed Baby Shower

Much of our year is just celebrating. When we moved back to Texas, we knew we would make friends. 2014 was a busy year of babies!! Our neighbors across from us were expecting their second child, first girl. As soon as we could, we jumped on the idea of throwing a baby shower for them. We did a couple's shower. Really it was a family shower. We totally had a blast. She was doing a girl monkey in the bedroom {since they did a boy monkey in their son's room}.

More Peas, Please made the invites and the other paper items you see around. They wanted Mexican food, so we did a taco bar. It worked out better to set everything in the kitchen instead of taking away the table. This way everyone could sit down and enjoy each other. We even got to have a few of our other neighbors over that we had not had a chance to really hang out with.

Here you will see the leaf garland (also used in the zoo theme party), our "Adopt a Monkey" section (these were the gifts for the children that attended the shower) and the presents (of course girl themed)! These were by far the most creative cake pops from NV Cupcakes. The banana bunches were vanilla flavored (absolutely great!) and the Monkey heads were chocolate with pink sparkle cheeks and bows. Some had the pink binky's. 

Mommy and Daddy were very happy to have everyone there to celebrate! They got a lot of amazing gifts and some homemade ones too. 

To have two pregnant ladies due this close together, we wanted to make sure they were comfy and no one went into labor!! What a shower that would have been.

Our awesome helpers (who are also our neighbors). These are probably THE single most loved people in the world. They're awesome friends!!

Zoo Themed Birthday Party

My nephew is probably the best little boy you will meet. He has done so much from two to three that I can't even keep track of how much has changed. Partially because Sweet (our youngest) is 3 months younger than him so it's hard to keep them straight. For his third birthday party, he wanted a zoo theme because he LOVES going to the zoo and LOVES elephants. I helped my SIL with the signs and decorations. Below you'll find the fun photos of the things that she found on Oriental Trading and the awesome cake she got! If I didn't end up sick, I would have eaten it all. I guess that's ok though, because his birthday is always near Hanukkah and Christmas for us. Too many pounds already. HA!

Here's a collage of the Cakes (both for the guests and his personal cake), drink station (with Shamu on top), the elephant shaped ham and turkey, and the signs for the food {Made by More Peas, Please}. My SIL found the animals at Oriental Trading and the little animals for the cakes were at Wal-Mart (I believe).

More food and another animal with the food menu for the dessert section.

For the decor, she wanted a sign just like that above. The stickers were found at JoAnn's and MPP cut out the letters along with painting the "X" over the word "NOT".

More Peas, Please cut out the leaf garland that was hung with the streamers to create a tree. The monkey was hung near the tiger hiding high up on the movie shelf. Of course animal print balloons were added near the present section. 

Here is my big boy nephew! The cups were from Oriental Trading and used for the children to put their drinks in (as a souvenir). The banner was made by MPP complete with his favorite animal in the middle, and elephant. The hat he was wearing, we found at Wal-Mart at the last minute. He was SO excited to wear the hat. This boy has always loved cake. The last photo shows him enjoying it.
