• Guess the Baby Item – Robin placed baby items into a bag and I had to guess what they were. I got most of them right, but the hand sanitizer was a tricky one.
  
• Price is Right – This was a lot of fun. Robin gave really funny descriptions of baby products and all of the guests had to guess if the price mentioned was higher or lower. What was even funnier was that the people who won don’t have children.
  
• Gift Bingo – People had to fill in the squares with gifts that they thought people would give and if they got a Bingo, they would get a prize. A great way to keep people’s interest during presents.
  

In addition to the games there was also yummy food. All kinds of fruits and pastries, as well as blocks of cheese and Robin’s Aunt Theo’s Potatoes. They know my food tastes well.

Margaret, Joe’s mom’s friend made a really beautiful diaper cake. I’m going to have a hard time disassembling it.

Robin gave a really wonderful devotional that made me laugh and be encouraged at the same time. All of the Bible verses she quoted were very meaningful for raising children and really spoke to me – see them here. At the end of the shower Sandra prayed for me and for Samuel, and all of the candles on the table that were favors said “Pray for Samuel”.

My friends are so wonderful and it was great to feel so loved! Thank you to everyone who came!

P.S. You can see all of the photos in our gallery in the album Baby Shower South. Thanks to Sandra for uploading all of the photos!

The first event was a bunch of friends going to see High School Musical 3 when it opened in the theaters. We all decided to dress up as different characters. From left to right the characters we represent are: Martha, Gabriella, Troy, Sharpay, and Taylor.

The second event was Halloween at work which was a blast. I wore my wedding dress with tiara and went as a princess, which is pretty much all I dress up as these days because it’s so much fun. They had a bunch of baskets all over the office and had people bring in their kids to go trick or treating. They were so adorable, with most of them being under 3.

As always, click on the images in this post to see more pictures from each event.

Everyone there was either family or family friends, and it was so nice to see everyone, especially the people I haven’t seen for a long time. They gave us so many wonderful gifts, most of them were for the kitchen which is so great because I’ve missed getting to cook. Thanks so much for everyone that came, it was really special that you came.
