Baby Showers

I was blessed to have FOUR baby showers, and we were blessed with lots of wonderful gifts!

The first one was thrown by my sister, Melissa, and my mom. Check out the refreshments!
We played a game called "Are these things for baby?" Everyone had to guess what the mystery white powder was in each bag. Here is my aunt Jayne and cousins Jamie and Jaycee playing.
My aunt Lisa made us this beautiful hooded towel, I had to model it.
And Melissa made this awesome banner that I love. Now it sits above Penny's bassinet.

The second shower was thrown by the Fishers (family in our ward that we have adopted ourselves into). We played more fun, goofy games :) This one was called (I think) Piddle in the Pot. Everyone had to put a balloon in their shirt and then carry a quarter between their knees and drop it into a cup. It's funny how much some of these girls actually look like they are pregnant- sorry Rachel.
Alisa was probably the best at this game- maybe because she just gave birth to twins 3 months ago.
The second game was Pass the pacifier- we had to pass a pacifier from person to person using straws in our mouths- much harder than it looks. Here are a few of my mia maids playing, it was so fun to have them there.
This super cute dress was crocheted for us by a sweet lady in our ward who we love, Sister Fitches. The picture doesn't do it justice, you need to come see it.
We have such talented family and friends- this diaper bag and ball was made by Leslie, and filled with all sorts of great stuff by her and her mother.
Probably the highlight of the shower: I opened up one present to find a blank card. Turns out the Fishers were so busy getting ready for the shower they accidentally put the card in their gift without signing it.
And then they did the same thing with the group gift- love you, Fishers!

The next shower was a surprise and boy was I surprised! I had been suspecting that my work was planning a surprise but I didn't think they were going to do it AT work in the middle of the day and I really wasn't expecting it on that particular day, even though I should have because everyone was showing up when they weren't even working for random reasons.
It was a yummy lunch shower and it was very fun!

The last shower was thrown by mother-in-law Nancy at Scott's Grandma's house. I thought this was the cutest thing:



SO cute- Godzilla hitchhiking to Tokyo- compliments of Allie.

Uncle Greg saved Scott- they were the only 2 men there. I wish I had a picture of Greg when he first walked in, he was carrying a bunch of girly baby presents and a purse.
We are so thankful to everyone! We had lots of fun and we appreciate the gifts so much!

Now her bed is made, the drawers and closets are stocked, the car seat is in the car and the hospital bags are packed. And since I officially started maternity leave today, I am actually feeling ready for this! Bring it on!
