I have fabulous friends!! They threw me a beautiful book
themed baby shower last weekend. From the beautiful handmade invitations, gorgeous
decorations and delicious food I couldn’t have been more spoiled. I have a HUGE
collection of children’s books. Some people collect stamps, (do people really
still do that?) but I collect children’s books. I guess it’s the elementary teacher
in me. So it was easy to decide what the theme of my baby shower would be. All
the food was carefully coordinated to go along with a book and some of my favorites,
including my own “self published” work, were on display. I was so pleased to
see that so many of my friends were able to make it, including two of my
coworkers whom I adore. I received some
of the most darling, feminine little outfits that I’m dying to dress this
little lady in. I also was given lots of great advice. I couldn’t imagine a
shower that was more perfect for me. I am a blessed woman to have so many
wonderful people in my life.
The shower followed the same itinerary as many I’ve been to
before. My guests trickled in and mingled for the first 30 min, then we enjoyed
an early lunch and more socializing. After 30-45 min we gathered to go over the
questions to the shower game. We played “Who knows Mom the Best.” It was all
questions about me and my pregnancy. I have to admit it was pretty hard but I
was surprised to see who knew the answers to what. (I’ve included the questions
and answers at the bottom of the post.) After the game I opened gifts and ow’ed
and aw’ed over all the generous and thoughtful things people had given me. It
was so fun to be surrounded by so many people I love. It was absolutely perfect! Thank you Amanda,
Ashley, Corinne, Louise and Megan for all the time and effort you put into
making this even so special. I’m so very blessed.
