Luau Shower

The Luau Shower

This was at one of Katie's favorite restaurants on the lake.  Her mom, sister and friends from the youth orchestra were the organizers.  She absolutely loved it!

Kathy & Erin organized the games.  The first one was taking away someone's clothespin when they said the word "Baby".  Alanna won that game. The second game was looking at everything in the basket and then writing down what you remember on a card. Kensley was concentrating hard.  Heather won this game. Way to go girls!!

However, Katie won too because she got to keep the basket with all of its goodies.

Khoji won this game.  Congrats!!

Each person was asked to bring a baby picture of themselves. Before Katie could open any presents she had to guess who the baby picture belonged to and then open their present.  This was a little more challenging than she thought it would be.  This is Tammy with her adorable picture.

Katie loved the octopus that played music.

Katie M. was a huge help with the presents.

The lab tech, Caroline, wants to protect our little girl from germs.  We agree.

Will's sister, Bianca and her husband Derek, who live in Los Angeles, sent the super seat for their niece.  Katie was told that this seat is absolutely wonderful and we wouldn't want to live without it.  Thank you, Auntie Bonkers & Uncle Derek!

Gotta rest and drink after all of that.

The ladies.  Thank you to all of you!  It was so nice seeing all of you and being able to spend an evening with you was so special.  We appreciate all you do to help celebrate this milestone in our lives.

37 weeks! The baby really enjoyed wearing Kensley's dress and jewelry (even though Kensley could only find one earring).  It made her feel very festive. Thanks, Auntie Ding! 

This was such a great shower! We feel so loved.  Thank you!!!
