On September 8th, my mom threw a baby shower for me/us down in Lake Ridge, where I grew up. It was so fun to see my friends' moms and other people I've known for quite a long time. My sister, Trisha, was even able to come out from Utah to join in on the fun! She took all the pictures, so unfortunately there are none of her. Bummer.
We started off by tying a tag around me saying "Do Not Open Until October 24". Darren said it was my expiration date. Ha ha.
Quite a few people were able to come! My mom even invited a few of her friends. It was nice to meet them too!
We got a bunch of great gifts. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us!
My mom also organized a group donation/gift for our car seat and stroller! We love it.
The decorations:
We didn't play a lot of games (which I was TOTALLY fine with), but one of the things we did was a pregnancy mad-libs sort of story. It ended up being so hilarious. Definitely an idea I would use again!
The yummy, yummy food! Chocolate covered strawberries, aram sandwiches, mini cupcakes, grapes and cheese and crackers.
One of the best parts of the day was being able to see my old friend Lauren again! For some reason we haven't gotten together since I've been back, and last saw eachother at my wedding open house 2 1/2 years ago. It was great to reminisce about piano lessons together (we still aren't sure why are teacher kept teaching us for years...), and silly things we did in high school. I'm so glad she was able to make it!
It was SO fun. Thanks to my mom and sisters for getting everything organized and hosting!
