Baby showers are such a fun time to honor moms-to-be and their new baby.
We love to get together to hear how the mom is feeling, what their plans are for when the baby is born and if they have picked a name.
Baby showers are full of beautiful decorations, fun games, and, of course, cute baby-shower snacks.
