Our good friends Cara and Ali have a precious baby on the way (due to make his or her arrival in less than a month!) and we couldn't leave for our 3.5 weeks in the states without throwing them a party hosting a baby shower for them first. The celebration took place this past Saturday (yes 3 days ago. Dare I say it? I'm caught up on the blog...for now) and it went off without a hitch!
The guests of honor :)
Obviously the 4 of us got the memo about wearing black and white ;)
I had to figure out some way to get all of the men to come to the shower...so I made lots of food...
...and we did lots of eating!
Just to make sure everyone truly had enough to eat, I made them sample baby food too.
...and from the looks on these faces, I'm glad I was the one running the game so I didn't have to taste the food myself! :) Chris and David won guessing 6.5 out of 11 types of baby food correctly.
It's only fair that all of the men should get to experience what it feels like to be 8 months pregnant! Look at all of these willing participants! Some of them appear to have bigger bellies than Cara!
We had two willing female participants too! It's not easy to slip a balloon inside of a dress, but Chris and Karen both managed to get the job done!
Who can tie their shoes the fastest with a big ol' belly in the way?
The Dad-to-be won...he must have picked up on some skills from watching Cara ;)
Gift time!
Ali tested a few of the goods out. Looks like the teething toy will work out just fine for the baby!
Me with the lovely and glowing very-soon-to-be-mom!
We are all so excited to meet Baby Cullen! Congratulations to Cara and Ali! :)
Thanks again Kim!!! We had such a blast!
