Our First Baby Shower

Last weekend, Anne's cousin Joy hosted a baby shower for us. It was wonderful to see the mix of friends and family there. And, Joy put so much thought into the details. People made felt pieces for a playboard based on the book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," competed for some great door prizes and filled out birthday cards for every year through age 18. Anne's Uncle Jerry brought in Chinese food from our favorite Chinese restaurant, and Anne's Mom made some delicious desserts.

Having a party to celebrate our daughter definitely makes this all seem real! We're lucky that Joy hosted the shower on April 29, because on May 5 she gave birth to a beautiful little boy, Ethan! He's absolutely adorable, has two fabulous parents, and we know he'll make a great playmate for our daughter. Now, a few pictures from the shower:



Scott can't wait to get home and play with "his" new toys.



Jim, Mary, Randi and Al - Two fabulous sets of grandparents!

Dear Anne and Scott,

Your delightful entry brought back in vivid detail the joy of your first shower and also revealed the beauty of your appreciative hearts. Your little girl is blessed to have you as parents.

So happy to be your mom and dad and a grandma and grandpa (-:

With joy and love, Grandma Mary

How exciting!!! Chicka-Chicka-Boom-Boom was Josh's (our almost 14 year old son) favorite book as a toddler!! He even made up a song!

Sounds like you guys had a great time!! Our friends are planning our shower and the only request I made was that they wait until after the referral.... good thing or we would have had it in January!!

Looks like you guys are all ready...just need your sweet baby girl!! I'm thinking they just can't drag it out past the summer... right? At least there is an end in sight!

Have a great weekend!
Lisa :)
