Today was Caitlyn's baby shower for the family. We had 20 people attend on a very rainy, windy Saturday afternoon. It was a nice time.
This was the games table, we had 4. Find the babies, I hid 35 little babies around the shower area, the one who found the most won. We did the "don't say baby" game, the bottle was for guessing how many was in it. And the big baby head was "put the passy in the baby's mouth", it's played like pin the tail on the donkey. The calendar was for people to pick the day they think the baby will be born. It was just for fun, but I kept it, and I'm thinking about doing a gift basket for the one who picked the right day.
This is some of the highlight events throughout the pregnancy. I took the picture before all the pictures were put up, and we had printer issues, so some didn't get used. The prizes for the games are there, too.
This is where gifts were opened.
This is the "head table" if you will.
And, finally, the rest of the tables, I made just about everything. Caitlyn helped with a lot, too.
Food was
pulled pork sliders
Sausage balls
Pigs in a blanket
Nachos with a meaty cheese dip
Vegetable tray
Fruit tray
Pumpkin spice bites
Chocolate pumpkin bites
Mini vanilla cupcakes
And party punch.
And my cousin, who, bless her heart, is allergic to just about everything, made a huge salad and made her own salad dressing and brought that for the table. Of course I made sure what I made was something she could have.
The only bad thing that happened today, my aunt fell coming out of her house to come to the shower, and broke her arm. But she stayed until after everything was done, and then went to the ER. Say a prayer for her, please.
It has been a good day. I'm worn out and hurting, done took the big gun pain killer, but it was a blessed day.
Hope everyone else has had a good day.

It all looks awesome, lily! You did a fabulous job. But, wait, you're Aunt broke her arm BEFORE the shower and sat through the whole shower with a broken arm before going to the ER? She must have a high tolerance for pain. God bless her.
Yes, FS, she broke her arm, and came to the shower.
Bless her.

Today was a shower her friends gave her, I'm not sure what she got from them. I was invited, but I'm just worn out.
The church gave her a shower, and I, along with the aunt who broke her arm, a cousin, and my mom, gave her a shower for the family.
She's gotten a whole nursery full of furniture, all the decor, so many clothes the baby is set for at least 6 months.
She got a birth to 5 yrs car seat yesterday, and a diaper genie, along with even more clothes.
Diapers, blankets, so many things.
She needs a stroller. I'll make sure she gets one soon.
