Super Blessed

I had an amazing baby shower this weekend! My sister Tara went all out to make my day super special. Butterflies was the theme, and they were everywhere!

Kyle and I were able to come the night before. I love cooking with Tara. Although, I did get a bit teary eyed cutting up red onions for the delicious potato salad and pasta salad. My mom brought sandwiches from Costco. Oh how I love those croissant sandwiches! Kevin picked up the cupcakes that were put together to form a butterfly!

I was so blessed when so many ladies came. Let's just say I was a little curious to see if anyone would come since I've been out of town for 3 years. I'm so glad for Facebook, email, seeing friends at Valley, and visiting when we can. I think the shower would have been different if those forms of communication weren't open.

Ashlee was so excited to be in charge of the games. She wanted me to know about them all before Saturday even came! I loved the games. The guests had to see how well they knew me by answering 20 questions. My cousin Rachel and my brother's girlfriend have been paying attention! They got 14 out of 20 right! I found it humorous that my Nanny didn't remember my middle name. Then again, all of us girls have an name starting with "l". I guess that could be hard to remember! We played the game where the guests have to guess how big my belly is by cutting a piece of yarn. Rachel also knew just how big my belly was. Her piece of yarn matched perfectly to my actual size! One of the most comical games was trying to figure out what baby food was in the jar when you couldn't open the jar and the labels were missing. I only got 4 right! The last game was to try and remember the 50 items that were on the diaper cake that my sister and her family spent hours making. I remembered only ten. My sister-in-law remembered many more!


Thanks again to everyone for making my shower an amazing event! My little girl truly has been showered in gifts. And amazingly enough, with Kyle's fabulous packing skills, we were able to fit it all in the car for the ride home!
