cookies for baby Alex

I'm getting a niece for Christmas. It's Daniel (Jim's brother) and Tonya's first baby, and we couldn't be more excited. I did the cookie party favors for the shower, but snapped pictures of the rest because it was all put together so well. Her name is Alexandria, so they went with a Greek theme.
first, the cookies...
This picture is of the cookies in process. The design mimicked the invite, but was so detailed that I had to develop a new skill. So I made a stencil for the leaves. Jim spent a good hour cutting out the tiny details, and it worked surprisingly well with the royal icing. It was a huge time saver that I will definitely try again.
bagged cookies make me smile.
but here are some of the shower details that I loved...
Jim and I both had a slew of Saturday commitments, so we divided the kids, and I ended up with Azure as my shower buddy. She loved all the other littles that were there, especially her cousin Abby. I love this picture I snapped of them from inside...Abby's little arm guiding my Azh.
Grandma Kay has introduced each of my 3 to olives. Azure readily gobbled them down.
And here are all of the Scott girls:
(Tonya, Jenna, Shanon, Kay, Abs in front, Tonya, me with Azh)
Now we just have to wait to meet Alexandria!
Azure, cookies, cousins, decorating, family
