Dallas Baby Shower

I said a few weeks ago that I would post about the last two baby showers I had and that's what I'm doing. :) My sister was the one who came up with the idea and she worked along with my aunt to plan a great party! My aunt was in charge of the games and being the hilarious person she is, there were several of them and they were really fun!

The first game that we played was a direct result of something I had told my mom one time. I told her I hated that game where people had to guess how big you are with a piece of yarn or whatever. In our family, apparently saying "I hate that" means "I secretly love that" so that was our first game. :) I love my mom and she knows I wouldn't be mad about that...I have a good sense of humor! This first picture is me with the woman who won the game...she had it almost exactly right!
We played another game where jars of baby food were passed around and we had to sniff them and decide what kind of food was in the jar. This picture is of my lovely sister playing this game.One of the games was for me to play. I had to have a blindfold on and guess the items that were placed in my hand. This picture is the cake that my sister got her friend to make for me. Her friend's name is Julie, so if you ever need a cake in the Dallas area, I'd definitely hire her! :)And finally, this last picture is of my mom and her best friend. I just thought it would be nice if the grandmother was in a picture! :) My mom is on the left...people say I look just like her: you be the judge. :)

so glad you had fun at your baby shower! I have played that "pass the baby food around" game as well, but my all time favorite is melting candy bars in diapers and passing that around. People have to guess what candy bar it is....it is hilarious to see people smelling the diapers!

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
