My brother and his sweet wife are expecting their 2nd baby to arrive in a couple of weeks.
Even though Shannon has repeatedly ignored my requested baby name…I decided to throw her a shower anyway.
Since it’s their first baby boy – I thought I would throw a bumble bee party. My brother John said we needed to “honor the stinger”.
Honor, we did.

Poms.
These adorable bumble bee cupcakes were made by Courtney.
I shared my banana runts. I love Shanaynay THAT much.
Even the beverages were beehives.
Bumblebee straws.
Here is the Spinach Dip recipe that was requested. (Allrecipes)
Veronica’s Hot Spinach, Artichoke, and Chili Dip
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (12 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/4 cup canned chopped jalapeno peppers, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix together the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the green chiles, Parmesan cheese, artichokes, peppers, and spinach. Spoon the mixture into a baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven until slightly browned, about 30 minutes.
My mom and sister were such a huge help…couldn’t have done it without them…and Courtney :)
There were baby bumps all over the place! It’s in the water in Shanaynay’s town.
We all had fun playing a fabulous game that Josie made. We enjoyed the food and company….
And then watched Shanaynay open her gifts….and I don’t have any pictures of that.
Horrible, I know. Honestly, I got caught up in the party of it all and forgot I was in charge.
I promise not to forget next time, Shannon….when you have Baby #3…..WRIGLEY. :)
My boys are so excited to have a baby boy cousin to play with and love.
It’s fun celebrating a new addition to the stinger club.
Congrats John and Shannon! We love you!
