Showers, Showers

We're so lucky to be surrounded  by such great friends and family and were thrown 2 showers in the bay area.  Todd's mom Coni and his cousin Jennifer threw us a family one at Jennifer's house last month.  It was nice seeing Todd's family and Coni's close friends.  Todd's Aunt Robin and Cousin Ashley flew in, which was nice of them.  We played the how big is my stomach game - which got quite competitive between cousins Christine and Drew.  The cake was the same guava cake we had at our wedding shower at the Berliner's.  The nice thing, was we hung out with the family all day which turned into a BBQ at night.  Yes, we ended the night with the men grilling meat. 




A couple of weeks ago, Hedda and Susan threw our friends shower.  I was really impressed by all their planning - the ballons, the signs, food and the games.  People decorated onesies for Lima - so lots of personalized ones for him/her.  There was guess who's baby picture - (which I some how got all of them right), and the baby beer bottle game.  It was really funny watching the guys drink beer (and looked wrong) out of a baby bottle.  It's not that easy! Susan served the best pasta - which everyone was asking for the recipe.  Thanks everyone for all the gifts and for coming out!!

This was one side of the nursery after all the showers.  At this point Lima has more stuff than we do! Thank you everyone for all the gifts and for attending!
