My AWESOME Family Baby Shower

THANK YOU TO ALL MY FAMILY MEMBERS WHO CAME TO MY SHOWER TODAY! A SPECIAL THANKS TO MY SISTERS AND MOMS FOR MAKING THIS DAY VERY SPECIAL!!!
I am so blessed to have a wonderful family! My sisters, mom, sister-in-laws, and mother-in-law threw me an AWESOME baby shower. The celebration took place in our church basement and we started with a cute game, Pregnancy....How Sweet It Is!!! What you had to do was match up baby terms with names of candy bars. Here are a few examples (answers are at the bottom of this blog):

Baby Terms: Twins / Triplets / Breastfeeding / Girl Names / Dad's Name / Contractions / Conception / Baby poop / Sleepless Nights

Candy Bars: 3 Musketeers / Raisinets / Rocky Road/ Whoppers / Baby Ruth / Skor / Twix / Sugar Daddy / Milky Way

After the game we had a delicious brunch. My mom made egg quiches, my sister, Sarah, made three different types of breads, my mother-in-law brought a huge fresh fruit salad and my sister, Amber provided the orange juice and coffee.

For dessert we had a yummy cake that my sister-in-law, Holly made. The decoration was two onsies, one saying "Born to Shop" in pink and one saying "Born to Hunt" in blue.

After brunch I opened my many great gifts! I was overwhelmed by the generous gifts and thoughtfulness behind each one! The invitations that were sent out asked that they bring a book instead of a card. The Twins will have plenty of reading material to pick from! What a GREAT idea!!!

Here is a list of some of the items we received for the twins: High Chairs, diaper bag filled with the necessities, car seat, bouncy seats, exersaucer, mobile, tummy time mat, onsies, blankets, toys, wipes, diapers, washcloths, diaper caddy, pacifiers, formula dispenser, gift card, changing pad, photo albums, humidifier, bottles, itzbeen baby care timers, Explore & Grow rider, activity gym, sleepers, Memory Game, Learning Bunnies, hooded towels, moisture cream & changing pad.

Sarah made these two adorable moose for decorations! They are made out of diapers, pacifiers, baby hat, baby socks, mittens, bibs, & toe separators. They were so sticken cute!

Answers to the game: Twins = Twix / Triplets = 3 Musketeers / Breastfeeding = Milky Way / Girls Name = Baby Ruth / Dad's Name = Sugar Daddy / Contractions = Whoppers / Conception = Skor / Baby Poop = Raisinets / Sleepless Nights = Rocky Road
