My cousin Chris and his wife Heidi are expecting their first child this spring! It is so nice for me to have family out here in Seattle and I am so excited that our little family is growing, so I was happy to offer to help host Heidi’s baby shower. Heidi’s childhood best friend, Colleen, is also out here in Seattle so we tag-teamed the effort to throw Heidi’s Twinkle Twinkle Little Star themed shower this past weekend.

![{Our theme was "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" so I tried to carry that through with the sparkly navy, silver and gold star decorations}](http://keepingupwiththeallens.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_4408-1024x683.jpg)

![{We played two games - the first of which was a Price is Right game where we guessed the cost of baby items. I was WAY off!}](http://keepingupwiththeallens.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_4423-e1421025057272-683x1024.jpg)
