A REELy Awesome Baby Shower!

So last weekend we celebrated the highly anticipated arrival of my newest Grandbaby.  Of course our preparations for the shower started months ago with research.  You know, "pinning all the things"?  We decided on a fishing theme since he is destined to spend most of his life with a rod and reel in his hands!  I thought I would post the pictures below so you can see all of the cuteness.  Many of the ideas came from sources on  Pinterest but my favorite, the cattails, we made that one up!  Enjoy!

Yolk Boats... deviled eggs with sails from Pinterest

 Our Creation... CatTails 

Little Smokies displayed in a tin bucket on skewers

with crepe paper leaves.  

Bobbers... CrockPot Meatballs

cooked in a jar of grape jelly and a bottle of BBQ sauce.

Thank you Fishing Kits - buckets from the dollar spot at Target

filled with gummy worms and white chocolate covered pretzel 

"fishing" rods.

Seaweed Dip: aka Spinach Dip with bread cut from a fish

cookie cutter.  More Pretzel Rods and Gummy Worms

Minnows are goldfish crackers.  The model volunteered!  :) 

Salt Water: punch made with a blue raspberry KoolAid 

packet, a 2 liter of Sprite and a can of frozen lemonade.

Giant Bobbers are white paper lanterns painted red on 

the bottom.  Be careful when painting the wire wraps

in a coil, so if you use the wire as your guideline, be

ready to connect the paint from the higher wire to the

lower one.  Kind of like connecting dots. 

Ice Fish - Ikea sells fish ice cube trays for 99 cents

each... we made the ice in those with blue colored water.

Muck Water was Publix Sweet Tea

Fresh Water Speaks for itself!!!  :)
