Anyway.
It was a bit frantic the few hours before. I took a lot longer to make the frosting and decorate the cupcakes than I thought. J helped so much. I appreciate him so much. I told him thank you at least 17 times throughout the day.
Here he is making the baby carriage out of the watermelon. It looked fabulous.
I stole this photo from my sister's Facebook page because I forgot to take a close-up!
My beautiful painted table with the awesome spread. It was a jungle theme, can you tell? Those ham and cheese rolls were a big hit.
Jennifer won the diaper raffle. And then won baby bingo, but was gracious enough to allow the game to continue so that someone else could win.
The big cupcakes.
The little cupcakes on my stand. J was washing something at the sink.
The lion was on the invitations...which I made in photoshop. They turned out pretty awesome if I do say so myself.
J was waiting to cut the cake and he unintentionally looked creepy.
If you're wondering why Dano is in all of the photos in the next sequence, it's because I stole these from FB too. I have some gorgeous sisters/mother. You're welcome for the eye candy.
She's not taller than me! I was crouched over holding something and it was awkward OK!
Shanna got some really good stuff. You can count on my family; my parents and sisters got her a car seat, a pack-and-play crib, a bathtub, and more. Look at all those presents!!
Baby bump.
The boys were in the back room playing video games.
One of the games was to make a play dough baby. Shanna judged the winner.
This is the one my mom made.
The other game was to give out a list of animals and write down the baby animal name. For example, a baby fox is a kit. That game ended up being hard, but it was with the jungle animals theme.
Someone made a sperm and egg.
Opening presents.
I probably shouldn't post this, but this is hilarious. I would take a photo like this.
After everyone went home, my Dad and brother came over and we had a family dinner. There was a very intense game of Jenga.
We manage to keep each other entertained.
I think my sister had a really good time. I know she got a lot of stuff she really needed, so I am really glad. I am beat. It is such a relief to have that done. I've never hosted a shower before and it is WORK.
It's a darn shame Danielle didn't get the picture of me when I was making my 'Stanley Kubrick's The Shining' face while holding the knife. Ahh well.. that one is still pretty good :)
