Storybook Shower

Last Sunday, May 6th, my wonderful friends - erin and Amy - threw an amazing, storybook themed shower for Chickie and I, attended by all of our closest sorority sisters. Professional party planners don't even come close to matching up to what these two creative geniuses are capable of. All of the decorations were handcrafted from old children's book text and illustrations. Each entree was inspired by a well-known tale (i.e. Clifford's Puppy Chow; Strega Nona's Spaghetti and Meatballs; etc.), the names of which were classically displayed on mini-chalkboards - my new favorite trend in party decor! After lunch, we grouped off into teams of 3-4 and put our storybook trivia skills to the test. Some questions were definitely hard, others easy, but all loads of fun to guess. Chickie felt so lucky to receive some special new books from some special old friends. The books focused on a range of pretty serious topics from barnyard animals to critters under the sea, from colors to numbers, from poetry to nursery rhymes, and so forth. Much thanks to erin, Amy, Liz, Lauren, Christina, Heather, Katie, Colleen, Angela, and Caryn!! You are all amazing, and I've very grateful for our friendship.
