Siefer Aunt's Host my Baby Shower

On September 4th over Labor day weekend my family hosted my baby shower in Kent. Aunt Terri designed my baby shower around a family tree theme! Everything tied together from from the super cute invites, to the decorations, the food, the favors and even my baby gifts! Check out my family tree! Aunt Terri took the time to gather photos of all my grandmas, grandpas, Moms, Dads and even Brad and I as babies. It was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise!

Pretty peitfores decorated to look like bird nests.

The favors were hand painted and decorated tree themed picture frames.


Tempting tree treats; buckeyes, kiss acorns and walnut and Carmel covered pretzels. They were Delicious and I have never seen the awesome acorns before!


They even included my favorite baby craving chocolate, chocolate cake!
Grandma Lou's living room was filled with baby gifts. My Mother in Law had to tote many of them back to Cincinnati for me! This book is from my sister Kirsten, "Bear in Underwear" was a huge hit! I know baby Hollander will enjoy his Daddy and I reading this one to him.

Do see the rocking chair I am sitting in? Another refurbished present from Aunt Terri for my nursery. The height of this rocker is perfect for me due to my shortness of stature!



Aunt Terri said the tree pattern from my baby blanket was the inspiration for my shower theme. Of course the colors coordinate with my nursery.



One of the numerous handmade sweaters from my family. This one was knitted by Robin.

I also received a handmade diaper changing mat and diaper bag from Robin in my crib material.

Shower fun! Aunt Sue gave us HUGE bin of clothes, diapers, and all the baby could EVER need.

Packaging by my Mom!



My Mom made him this little orange and cream sweater complete with a pair of corduroys.

Hand knit bunny from my Mom as well!

I just want to thank my family for such a thoughtful and unique baby shower. Baby Hollander is blessed to be loved by so many people already.
