The Baby Shower

Last weekend, Dana and Veronica came to town for a super quick visit, which included the baby shower.  Planning the shower was a lot of work - I had a great helper in Veronica's friend, Heather. And also some not-so-great help from another of Veronica's friends....who failed to bring the food she said she would bring, leaving us short for food. And then she laughed about it. Awesome - note: do not rely on that person for anything ever again.  Regardless of that little incident, the shower was a great success and Baby Easton scored big time!

 

I ordered some dipped strawberries from a Living Socials deal - they were incredible!!!  (www.sherrisberries.com)

 

 And my cousin's girlfriend, Lori, made the cake.....the cow jumped over the moon.  So adorable!

 

 We had a very good turn-out (despite very little RSVPs....I swear, those are a thing of the past)

 The games were a hoot!

 Decorating some onesies.

 

 

 

 

 

 Easton got some great gifts!

 And we snuck in a gift from Dana to Veronica - a matching ring/necklace set with Easton's birthstone.  She freaked out for a minute....thinking it was a different sort of ring!

And of course, we had to measure her belly!

 

 

 

After the shower, a big group of us went bowling so we could all share time with Dana and Veronica. We ended up at Emerald Lanes to do cosmic bowling.

 For a seasoned league bowler like my dad, all the lights and music and FUN was quite distracting to his bowling game. ;) 

 Everyone had a great time though - lots of people came out to see Dana and Veronica, we had pizza and beer, and shared lots of laughs.  It was a great, albeit far too short, visit.  Two more months and they get to meet their son and embark on the journey of parenthood.......WOW!
