Baby Shower

My daughter in law Ashley is expecting her and my son's first child - and our first grandchild. We are pretty excited and of course they are too! They have lots to do though and only a couple of weeks to get it all done. Luckily my cute sister in law, Becca, through her a baby shower. Once they had the shower they would know which items they still needed to get. What to buy? Kind of hard because I'd already given her my standard baby gift. Goodnight moon and a blanket or pajamas.

She's got a long, hard road a head of her. So I put together a Sunshine Basket. I filled up a basket with yellow items.  There is a picture frame with a quote that is pink but everything else is yellow....
