We had a FANTASTIC first baby shower at Dale and Jean's house! The shower was with Chris' mom Mary's side of the family...it was so fun to see everyone and be together!
Chris' cousin Jean and aunt Bev planned so many fun games, activities, and special little accents that made the day special. The party started out with a delicious meal and then moved into games. Bev had asked Chris and me each a set of secret questions about each other and the baby. Then we were asked the each other's questions in front of the group to see how well we matched. I'd say we did pretty good. :) Other games included guessing baby items in bags (only by touching them!), Grandparents' charades (all the grandparents and great-grandparents did great!), and then we got to hear advice from everybody in the room. Chris got a special "Papa's Tools" apron that had pockets filled with baby paraphernalia and he had to try and figure out what everything was. He did a very good job with that- he knows more than I do! Good thing he likes reading the books and doing the research.
We got so many great presents and as soon as we got home we started organizing everything in the baby's room. Right now it is all just in piles because we only have the crib in there for furniture. But we've already talked about going to Ikea to find cute storage space and will get things in order soon. We have to because we have another couple of showers in less than 2 weeks! Baby Goose is one lucky baby!
Here are a few pictures from the shower...
