Pink, pink....and more pink

This is my all baby stuff in one post. I need to find ways to condense these posts because I have way too much to catch up on. First up...my tutu's and tiara's baby shower given by Jenny Lops (Mark's sister). She definitely made up for all the blue in my life with lots and lots of pink! It was great with tons of yummy food and cute decorations. My favorite...the cream filled cupcakes! Jen did an awesome job with the help of course of Sabrina, Allie, Mary, Melanie, and Mandy. Thanks girls!!!
I got lots of fun stuff. Mary did not disappoint with her homemade quilt for Molly. I loved all the cute clothes, shoes, blankets, and bows!!! Oh...how I can't wait for some pig tails! Meanwhile back at the house....the boys were putting on a daddy day care so that the girls could relax and enjoy. Brandon, Mark and Tom took charge of 7 kids and as you can see they seemed to have at least most of them under control... The female Olson clan....
Next up...my baby girl room that I have been working hard on. For any boys reading this you may want to just skip to the end because I'm pretty sure you wont care about this part :). I actually didn't have to ask Mark to do any painting. The room had green and white walls with lots of blue accents and I simply traded out the blue for some pink. I think it turned out pretty cute.
One of my favorite baby shower gifts... Allie used the fabric from my bumper pads and made this cute bow and barrette holder. I can't wait for her to have some hair so I can actually use them! I got pretty crafty myself and made the cute 'M' wall hanging as well as this paper punch flower hanging. The desk actually used to be grandma's and was an ugly brown old thing but I re-finished it a few years back and absolutely love it so I had to include it in this picture. All and all I was quite proud of my "crafty" self :).
My sister in-law Jane made these bumper pads. I picked out the fabric and she did the hard part. She's pretty talented that way which makes it nice for me :). Mark's mom also worked some wonders on the rocking chair. It used to be her mothers but the fabric was a little outdated and definitely did not go with my color scheme so I picked out some fabric and she managed to re-cover the existing pads and made the cute pillows to bring it all together Now all I needed was a little girl. Molly Joanne Olson joined our family this past Wednesday weighing in at 8lbs 3 oz and measuring 19 3/4 inches. Yes, she is my biggest :). I'm pretty sure she'll have plenty to wear for quite a while :)
We are excited to have her join our crazy brewd of boys and I know she'll be well protected in the years to come....
She is perfect and we feel very blessed to have this precious new spirit in our home!
The official kid count now........Boys -3 and Girls - 1
