Showers of Blessings

What a wonderful shower it was...a baby shower for my neice, Candice. So many helped with it. Ann-Marie had planned the games..when people begin to arrive they were given a new name associated with a baby. For instance my name was bottle. For the entire evening, you were to call me bottle not Juliet. If anyone heard you say my real name they had to take off their name tag. Plus, you were also given a colored clothes pin and attached it to clothes. If you used the word BABY...you had to give your clothes pin to that person. The person with the most clothes pins at the end of the evening, won a prize. So we all had to be very careful in our conversations with one another.

The two other fun games were the regular bowl of cotton balls...with eyes shut, you would try to spoon them into a large bowl on your head from the spoon placed in the bowl on your lap. Remember that game? The other game was really funny. Everyone got a blank sheet of paper and after folding, put it behind their back and tried to cut out a baby figure with their own hands. You should have seen the different babies...skinny, fat, and of course some of them looked like a teddy bear.

Gifts, Gifts and more Gifts... so many great clothes, bed, beddings, highchair, etc. That wonderful child to come with certainly be well dressed. Candice, we all are so happy that a new member of our family will be coming soon. ...and a girl at that.

We had great food too! Fruit salad, Veggie tray, Turkey and Ham Wraps, Punch and especially the cake from good old Hilanders.

Thanks to everyone who took part...Betty Boehm, (Candice's Aunt in Texas), Charity and Colleen (Candice's sisters from TN) Cousin Ann-Marie and even Candice herself.

I'm looking forward to being a GREAT-AUNT AGAIN! Enjoy the slide show from the shower!
