This past weekend, my in-laws hosted a little baby shower for that side of our family. My in-laws have an amazing garden they've cultivated in their yard over the years, so it seemed like an easy theme for the party was "garden party." To go along with that theme, we decided to make the party favors potted succulents, as they have succulents galore and everyone loves them. They found a great deal on some little pots, and we all set to work decorating them to add a little personal touch. (this is a project I referred to in my post "Creating in Community") The decorating started off simple, took a wrong turn, and then sort of got out of control as my ambitious got away from me. But in the end we came up with some fun designs. Below is part one of my little showcase, the pots we made based on children's stories and characters. Here's the fun part, its a quiz. How many stories can you identify? To the first person who is able to identify the most stories most specifically, I will send a custom decorated pot as a little prize. Have fun!

These all look amazing, Zoe! I'm so proud of you exercising your creative muscles. I think Emily deserves to win because of her valiant naming effort above. :) Baby Girl Reyes is so lucky to have such wonderful, creative, loving parents. 5 weeks and counting! xoxo -
