Last weekend a good friend and I threw a baby shower for my sister. Or a sprinkle shower/meet and greet as the focus was on meeting her newest cutie pie rather than soliciting gifts...lol
It was a lot of fun, colorful, simple and for once actually turned out as good as it did during the planning stage in my mind. (That is a scary place my friends...in my head that it. Not the party. That wasn't scary at all)
We rediscovered my grandma is the biggest baby hog in the world...but really it shouldn't have came as a surprise. Anyone who gave birth to 16 kids obviously likes babies. And as a cousin and I also discussed, by the time you have 85 grandchildren, you have earned as much time holding a baby as you want. My grandma's motto is always "don't worry, I'll give her back when she crys"
My favorite project is actually the post shower project. I am making custom thank you cards for my sister, that will include a picture of each guest and our sweet little princess :) Possibly a picture of my sister opening their present...if it wasn't one of the ones I caught her in a weird angle with a half open mouth and looking slightly possessed.
***Bonus Question(s): Are you honestly a fan of shower games? I am not, so we did a door prize...and thats it.....and we got compliments for not having silly games. Are we a fun hating somber bunch or normal?***

For as much scheming and plotting I put into the decorations I didn't take any pictures.
But, I did of the important part - the people. Although I did miss a few sneaky guests, and a few I took off guard pictures so they didn't turn out. Oh, and little boys who were too busy to be bothered with a baby shower played quietly in the next room...away from my camera.
(I promise not to post unflattering pictures of friends and family on my blog)
Two of the sweetest women I know.
The one of the right will be given her first grand baby by the one on the left :)
Baby girl did so great, she got passed around for 3 hours and never fussed. She must have been feeling the love.
