So I just had my baby shower :) Loved it :) it was really fun, not too long, lots of people came (I was worried about that) :) So over all I was happy about it :) On a side note I have reaffirmed why I am having a birthing photographer LOL there were almost NO pictures of my guests :( which makes me sad :( and there were no pictures of the WONDERFUL FOOD that my mom and I spent DAYS MAKING!

I'm gonna try to describe everything so that you know all that we made for the party :)

First off Kyra has Celliac Disease so I made it very clear to my mom that I wanted as much Gluten free food as possible and for the most part she conformed. We even made the little cupcakes out of a gluten free cake mix :)

OK so on the "snacky table" we had made:

• pink and purple chocolates that were butterflies and flowers
• the cupcake tower with mini cupcakes decorated with pink and purple frosting and little white flowers on top and some of the butterfly chocolates on top (kinda like they were going from flower to flower.. it was really cute.
• chips and dips

On the counter where the "meal food" was we made:

• My oh so famous Grilled chicken, Spinach and cheese- bow tie pasta (I looked really hard to find the pasta gluten free with no success :( )
• A really stinking yummy Waldorf salad (normally I hate Waldorf salad but this was way good, along with the regular junk in the Waldorf salad we also put pineapple, dried cranberries, yogurt and some other stuff which dressed it up all good :)
• I don't know what to call this next thing but we made shaped bread in flowers and hearts and toasted them with a spinach dip, ham and cheese they were really good too :)

And to drink we did the typical sprite and raspberry sherbet, but then we also added frozen berries which made it different and dressed it up REALLY NICE!

The games we played were some fun ones :) we had a trivia game that had like 12 questions on it about having a baby.. some were kinda hard. I cant remember who won that game.

Then we played baby bingo (just like at Kyra's baby shower) where they had a blank bingo card and a bunch of names to choose from putting all over the board. it made it nice in the beginning because people were able to fill those out while waiting for other people to show-up :)

The final game was the baby changing game. There were groups of 4 people and they raced to: unwrap their baby from its blanket, take off its clothes change its diaper, put on a new outfit, and re-swaddle then pass it to the next team member.. then time stopped when everyone was finished. There ended up being 3 teams, with times of 10:00 5:56 and 6:10those 2 teams were CLOSE...

After the food and the games.. we then opened presents .. the funnest part for the mommy hahaha getting STUFF is always fun!

I'm gonna post all the pictures from the party and I'll just title all the pictures presents. the few presents that didn't get a picture however was Diapers, wipes, and travel bath stuff from Diane, and the travel system from my mother (but you can see the travel system in alot of the other pictures too)

(I had to post another blog to put the pictures because Blogger is acting wird about me adding too many pictures :P )
