baby shower

Nic had a baby shower and it was so much fun! I was in charge of games and I think everyone enjoyed them! We played: Don't say Baby, My Water Broke, Mommas & Their Babies, Baby Word Scramble. Baby Bingo, and The Dirty Diaper Game.

The food was out of this world good! She married into a Greek family and lets just say I'd like to be invited for Christmas or any other holiday that requires eating food to celebrate haha!

I can't wait to meet her little guy. He and Lilah will be the best of friends I hope!

Yesterday was my shower and I must say that my mom did a wonderful job! I absolutely loved my My Little Pony diaper cake!! She has really put my work to shame (I'll have to raise the bar next time I make one!) We played lots of fun games and I enjoyed the company of some great friends. A big thank you to Mom, Ashley, Zach, Abby, and Grandma for all your effort! There's no pictures of us playing games or me opening presents because there was complete chaos going on in the room with so many children but it's all captured on DVD and it'll be lots of fun to look back and watch it in a couple of years! I want to also say thank you for all the wonderful gifts the babies and I received and for everyone who came out!

We're heading out today for our big trip. I think it'll take around 28 hours total if I remember correctly, and we're lucky for that. Sometimes the trip can be 30-38 hours depending on layovers, and if you miss a flight then it could be closer to 50 hours before you reach your destination. (don't worry...that won't happen again!) This week has been pretty busy between getting packed and having a baby shower for Lia. Emmy got to spend lots of quality time with Grandma Jan who helped us out lots. I think she's going to do good on the flights....I'll be back in a few days to give it a full report! Here's some pictures from this weekends baby shower I hosted.

Here's the cake I made!

BABY SHOWER

Yesterday the girls (Carolyn & Leah) through a Baby Shower for me! You did such a beautiful job too! I loved every minute of it! There was lots of fun decorations and really yummy food!

Uummm chocolate... I'm not suppose to have any but it was a special occasion!

Lia made a beautiful shower card :) and gave Emerson this awesome clip on toy! I have already clipped it on the pram and I'm sure she'll have lots of fun looking at it!

Jan made this wonderful baby bath towel with cross stitched animals in fun colors! She also gave a really cool stuffed animal that hangs from the ceiling and bounces so gently. I plan to hang it above the change table!

Lee brought the sweetest little baby overalls!


How cute! This little summer outfit was from Heather and her daughter Emily!


Claire & Louise brought a wonderful little photo album that I can't wait to fill up with pictures! It came with a really pretty box that I'll find some good use for!


Tons and tons of baby goodies like socks, onesies, pacifers & babie nail clippers were from Leah!


Carolyn's present was packaged in a really cute box ( and everyone knows I love boxes and baskets! ) with TONS of baby bath products! Shampoos, bath soaps, lotions, diaper supplies, the cutest no button onesie, and baby socks!

GAMES

Leah was in charge of the games and she came up with some really fun ones! We played 'Spit the Dummy' (or spit the pacifer) the person to spit there pacifer closest to the bottle of wine won the bottle!


We also played a game to see who could dress Baby Born the fastest with a blind fold on!


Another game was Pass The Baby. Which came down to the 2 pregnant girls!


Some of the other games we played inculded. Baby Present Bingo - the girl to have the highest number of correctly guessed presents that I was going to open would win a prize. Guess My Belly - everyone got to cut a piece of ribbion and guess my size and the closest to the correct size won! Last but not least was the Peg Game - your peg would get stolen from you if you were caught crossing your legs!

Of course boys are not allowed at baby showers....... so we sent them down to the pub for beers. They looked pretty relaxed when we went to join them!

I had so much fun! Thank you ladies for helping me celebrate!
