Baby Shower

I had a beautiful baby shower 2 Sundays ago. Thanks so much to Victor's mom, her friend Lourdes, my friend Melanie and my Mom for working together to put together such a great shower. In addition to all the "normal" baby shower things they came up with some really neat ideas.

Mildred's friend Ama wrote a poem about Parker which they printed and handed out to everyone and they made CDs with Spanish lullabys to hand out as well. Lourdes brought back a lot of the table decorations from her trip to Puerto Rico and Melanie had the cutest cake and corsages made, all in blue and brown! Even the edible arrangements had the chocolate dipped fruit in blue and brown chocolate...how cool is that??? Oh, and my Mom put together the super cute invitations in blue and brown with blue and brown grosgrain ribbon...I don't have a picture of one to post, so you'll just have to trust me that they were really cute!!!

A big thanks to everyone who helped out with the shower, came to celebrate the future arrival of little Parker and the wonderful shower gifts. Enjoy the pics below.

Lourdes, the hostess kind enough to open her home for the shower

More mingling

My Mom had to take this picture...look at that stomach

Oh, the toilet paper game...there were some rather long strips torn off

But the right answer was actually only 12 squares...not too bad!

Interesting prize Melissa won for her correct guess

The oohhhss and aaahhhhs begin

Checking out the card

Parker is going to be stylin in all his new clothes

Hmmnnn, what's in this box?
