Baby Shower!

Editor's note: If you are of the male persuasion you may want to avert your eyes from this post. May contain significant amounts of estrogen and ooh's and ahh's familiar to the female set which would make absolutely no sense to you.

This Sunday we had a baby shower for the whole of Southern California, which was tons of fun and more complicated to organize than it sounds because these wonderful friends and family were coming from all over the place: Bakersfield, Fresno, South Pasadena, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Orange County, and Alta Loma to name a few.

The shower was at our good (and dearly missed!) friends Adam and Laura's house, although he wisely ducked out after helping us unload chairs and heavy things. You will see from the picture below that she is indeed quite pregnant and we were so thankful that 1. She was willing to host a shower at 4 weeks out from her due date, and 2. No one went into labor during the shower. My roommate (not the current one :0) Holly came down from Bakersfield and did the games for the shower and my mom also did a huge part of the set up and food.

Me and Laura comparing bellies-she wins by the way!

The table for the shower looked so cute before we started that I had to get a picture to show you. The cute little things on sticks are called cake dips and were made by Laura (our hostess) and should you ever have the chance to indulge in one, go for it, they are soooo good! (this is all I am going to say about them because I don't want to make you all hungry and jealous).
















Also, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came and for those who could not and sent gifts. We feel truly overwhelmed by your generosity and blessed by your friendship. If you want to know just how much "loot" there was, you can ask my mother in law, since she had to figure out how to pack it all in her SUV to drive north.
