Baby Shower

I have some wonderful Family and Friends that put on two baby showers for me. It was nice to get started on all the things a small baby needs.

This first one was from Greg's Sisters and daughters. The girls had so much fun decorating food and Sonya's whole house. There were streamers all over the house. The wonderful things mom's and aunts do in the name of fun.

Since chocolate has bothered me my whole pregnancy Sonya was really thoughtful and bought subway sugar cookies, YMMM , and so cute.   

 

 Since we had to work around 3 very busy schedules it was kind of hard to plan a date. We had to do it kind of fast. I had school, Sonya was going to have a baby and Tana was going on Vacation. Not a ton of people could come on such short notice, but it was fun none the less.

 Thanks you Sonya and Tana. It was tons of fun to see what a baby really needs. Poor Sonya was very pregnant.  I kind of felt bad the whole time every told me how cute I looked and how big she looked like. Good thing she is a wonderful sport. 

Here are some fun video's of the shower, Greg was there at the beginning for food and at the end to help pack all the presents to the car.

The 2nd shower my Friends and Ward put on. It was so fun to get to see some old friends that I have not seen awhile. Greg had fun coming and saying HI in the after party.

Here are the prizes that Shirley came up with. She had some really fun games. Then Catlin was in charge of the food. There was lot of it and it was really good. We got to bring some of it home.  

 It was fun to to see old friends, and people from the ward. There were about four people that were pregnant at the shower it was really fun to get to talk to them about how they are feeling.

 

One of the games we played was to guess what melted candy bar was in the diaper. I helped Shirley melt the candy so I did not play but it was so fun to see the peoples faces and watch them sniff.  

The first one is snickers and the 2nd one is York Peppermint patty. I could not picture all of them because some of them were really gross. I made Greg come over and play the game too.

I got some really fun gifts, and some really cute clothing. Shirley gave me some bath things that I will need but might not think of. Good thing she did because I did not think of any of them.

Thank you so much for all the fun. I know that Denali and I are very loved.

 

During the baby shower everyone wrote down some advice. Here is the advice. Any tips will help. Shala was also kind enough to wright down what everyone got me. Thanks!
