bébé shower
Monday, September 29th, 2008I know I’ve been a bad blogger lately! I’ve been so busy the past two months with work that blogging has been on the back burners lately. But I have so many things to share with you guys in the upcoming weeks! At one point I had a destination wedding, a family session and 6 engagement sessions all within 11 days. It was slightly crazy, but also crazy fun! So be on the look out for more engagement teasers!
Anyways, my sister in law, mother in law, and my dear friends Tracy and Tina threw us a fabulous baby shower recently at our place! With my current work schedule I honestly didn’t think we’d end up having one, but we did and it was perfection!
We revealed our little one’s name at the shower! 
Favors, cake and floral arrangements.
They had our moms bring some photos of us as babies to decorate the house. Guess who this cuteness is?
My sister in law even made this sign in mat with one of my baby bump self portraits (entitled: Lost: Sight of My Feet at 27 weeks).
Family Picture! My father in law, mother in law, my mom (my dad couldn’t make it), me, Jeff, and my sister in law Crystal.
And of course, a portrait (by Ming) of our first furry baby! Doesn’t Akira look so happy in this picture? When I saw it upload the first thing I thought was, “She’s smiling!” Too cute!
One of the games we played was “sniff and guess the baby food flavor” game. Oh. My. God. Who knew baby food could smell so bad! Kerrie’s husband Greg pleaded with me, “Sarah, please don’t ever feed your baby any of this stuff!” You know it’s bad when someone guesses the flavor of a jar of baby food to be “Ass.” LOL! Good times!
Thank you girls for taking the time out of your busy lives to help welcome our little one into the world. Jeff and I had such a great time at the party and loved getting to catch up with so many friends we hadn’t seen in so long! And a big thank you also goes out to our family and friends who traveled a ways just to make it to our shower!
