Generally I'm not a fan of baby showers for babies after the first one. After all, you probably have most stuff left over from the first. I don't think each baby needs their own new things. I love hand me downs! There are exceptions to my feeling on this like having a different gender or multiples perhaps. Turns out having your second one 6 years after the first is an exception too. I didn't think so, but turns out a lot of stuff just didn't make it through 6 years of storage. It took a little convincing, but I warmed up to the idea of a shower.
And my new thought is that it is just fun to celebrate a new baby.
I'm blessed to have fun friends in my life who threw a shower with a GREAT theme. Cars! Unique to little Aria who arrived in our vehicle.
The cake was my favorite:
Behind the van it says "Welcome Baby Aria". So clever! (And it tasted soooo good.)
The tables were fun too:
The tablecloths looked like streets! Fabulous idea from pinterest.
I was touched by the generosity of everyone.

The honoree slept through most of the shower
This is such a unique theme. Hope your delivery was safe and you are doing fine. My sister is visiting our place after quite a long time. Thinking to arrange a welcome party at one of the nearly located LA venue next week. All her favorite cuisines and desserts will be done. Drinks and cake design is also on hunt to make her feel special.
