Baby Shower!

We recently headed back to Texas for a baby shower for Jessica's cousin Laura and her husband Joel. They are having a little girl, named Alice, later this summer.



The shower was book-themed. Can you name all the children's books they made decorations for? (If you get more than eight, you're looking too hard).



Posing with the lovely mom-to-be!



One of the shower games we played was a race to see whose "water broke" first. We froze little plastic babies in ice cubes and put them in everyone's drinks. The person whose water broke first got a special prize (and will be the next in our family to have a baby!)



All the cousins together! Quick note: Angie, the second from the left, was the winner of the game described above. Big congrats go out to Angie and her husband James!



Speaking of flies, check out this baby frog umbrella! Does that mean it's a baby frog, or it's a baby umbrella? Either way, the parents-to-be did an amazing job modeling their gift.



Scottie, one of the proud grandmothers-to-be. FYI, she's not smiling for the camera, she had that look on her face the whole shower!



Kathy made an amazing quilt of fabrics from everyone in the family for Baby Alice. They ended up with so many shirts that the quilt is double-sided. That way, when Baby Alice spits up on it, her parents can just flip it over!

Hey!! Such a cute baby shower. Good to see these arrangements. Recently I attended my cousin’s baby shower at one of venues in San Francisco. Did astonishing arrangements there that were loved and adored by everyone.
