By itself it is a sight to behold, fresh, ripe, cut-up fruit, especially in the cold, winter months.

But, when it is served in this style, it is worth sharing with the blogging world.

My neice bought a watermellon, carved it out, cut up the fruit, and produced a gorgeous creation.

For her first attempt at this project, I think she deserves recognition, especially since she is a busy mom to three young children, including a new baby.

Cake pops instead of a decorated cake or cupcakes...what a fun idea!  Cake pops baked and decorated by another mother of young children.

The sister of the watermellon creation, did these beautiful chocolate covered strawberries.  What a perfect way to display them on the food table.  What talented neices I have been given!

The mother-to-be's good friend did the cute pink favors.  The tiny pink pacifiers completed the look and made a lovely presentation as it sat on the table by the door for everyone to take.

The pretty mother-to-be was a warm, gracious recipient of the evening's festivities.

I saw this saying recently and I thought of myself as a new, young mother, and how often I needed to call my mother during those first few years.  She may find herself doing that too.   Thank God for mothers!

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed seeing a glimpse of another family baby shower.

Thanks also to my dear neice for sharing her photography skills with us.
