Last Sunday, Matt's Mom, sister and cousin hosted a baby shower for me. Our nursery theme is going to be seashells and beach, since Matt and I grew up near the water. So Maggie did a beautiful job of keeping in that theme, from the invitation, to the cake and the table decorations.She hosted the shower at her condo's clubhouse and it was a perfect location. Nearly 25 people attended... a mix of family, friends and friends of Maggie's and my Mom. It was great getting to see some people that I hadn't seen in awhile, and some that I have heard about, but haven't had the chance to meet yet.
We played a couple of baby games, and Matt's cousin, Gaye, did a great job of keeping them simple and fun. If you know me, then you know I hate baby shower games.... especially the one where you can't say the word baby or you lose a safety pin, or the "dirty diaper" game. But the games Gaye chose were fun, quick and not too painful! And the prizes were a big hit too... especially the cool shell bracelets she bought in the Philippines while she was there.
Maggie prepared a wonderful lunch of chicken salad sandwiches, broccoli salad and fruit salad. And then the cake she had ordered (pictured above), was so beautiful. I had a hard time cutting it up because I didn't want to ruin it! Maggie, Gretta and Gaye did a wonderful job of throwing a memorable shower for me and I appreciated all the work and attention to detail they gave!
