Lucky, Capital M has really sneaky friends, so she went out to brunch with Marv, and then Mich and Church took her halfway to Hamilton and back. This gave me time to clean up the place, and just as I started to put up the decorations, all the guests started arriving early so as not to ruin the surprise! DOH! I was still in my football jersey, and just putting stuff on the walls! A couple of the girls helped me with the remainder of the decorations, and Car, Che, and everyone else helped finish putting together the lootbags and giveaway prizes!
I completely forgot to buy juice, pop, plastic utensils, and ice, so I had to make one last minute run to the Loblaws and had about 5 mins to spare before the guest of honor showed up!!
She was TOTALLY surprised, so the distraction tactics throughout the day and the week totally worked!
We ended up playing games like baby word scramble, name that nursery rhyme, guess the circumference of mommy's belly, and pin the diaper on Daddy! (Not my best moment in time!)
Thanks to Car, Mich, Marv, and the rest of everyone who came out! Baby girl totally racked up the shower gifts with a playpen, jolly jumper, Snugli, tons of clothes, bibs, rattles, diapers, a monitor, some travel items, and tons of stuff for mom-to-be also!! Thanks again to everyone for the generous gifts, and for bringing the yummy food and desserts for the potluck also!
Check out my lovely decorations job!
Party Packagers saved my butt!
One-Stop shopping for all your party needs!
This was the word scramble game.
Then there was "Name that baby food!"
Some people had to leave early, so we took an early group shot.
Then there was pin the diaper on Daddy game. No pics, no evidence!!
Then there was the one-handed diaper change contest.
Alex was the happiest baby in attendance! I only wish that our baby is that smiley!!
