First Installment - Baby Shower

There's so much to share that this will have to come in segments. My former boss, Rick and a good friend at work, Laurie, decided to host a shower for us. Yes, it's a little early, but with the holidays coming up, they decided it would be better to go ahead and have it. (In fact, one of the guests said to me,"I can hardly tell you're pregnant." Yea.) We had a variety of different people come for the party -- some co-workers, some friends from church, our neighbors, Barry's co-workers, and some of Rick's family.

It was a tailgating themed party so we started off watching a variety football games and snacking. Then it was time for games.
Taste-testing baby foods to see if you could tell the flavors.
We did a couple of games where we had to write answers. One game was with the letters of the alphabet and the first person to get the whole list filled was a winner - boy names, of course.
The first game we did involved a variety of baby items that you had to pass to the right or left depending on what the story said. It was very complicated!
There were prizes for the person who traveled the farthest, who had the most children/grandchildren, etc. We actually got to keep all the prizes because they were baby items.
Here's the baby cake. Yum!
