Baby Shower

     Sorry this took so long… I was hoping to get pictures from other people since every picture on our camera is of Steve and/or me.  I finally decided that instead of waiting any longer, I should just post, since I can always post more pictures later.

     On January 28^th we had a baby shower thrown by the grandmas to be. Riley and Logan are lucky to have such wonderful grandmas and so many fantastic family members and friends that already care so much about them!

     The shower was at a restaurant in my home town and my super creative mom did a great job decorating. It was a monkey twin theme and was absolutely adorable.

The favors, filled with homemade cookies and lollipops!

We had baby lottery tickets in our goody bags, which I found hilarious. You scratch off a bottle to see what you put inside. Mine had a rubber ducky in it and said “That goes in the bath!” Steve got the winning ticket because he had a carton of milk in the bottle. I may not be a mom yet, but I’m pretty sure you are not supposed to put milk in a baby bottle…

     I think my favorite shower item was the mat of the babies’ ultrasound pictures that was sent around for everyone to write notes to Riley and Logan. It was a really cute idea and I bet they will love it when they are elementary school age. My mom also decorated an advice book which I can’t wait to read – she said she flipped through and some of the guests wrote really funny things!

This is really cool! Now we just need a frame to hang it in the boys' room.

     Steve and I really enjoyed seeing some family members and friends that we have not seen in a long time – some of them since the wedding! I wish I got to talk to everyone more, but my giant belly kept getting in the way of the servers.  I do think, however, that we scored ourselves a whole list of future babysitters (do they realize there are TWO babies?)

    I can’t believe how incredibly generous everyone was. Steve and I are now feeling much more prepared for the boys’ arrival (well, maybe not mentally, but we have everything we need!) We received car seats, pack’n’plays, high chairs, a swing, clothes, toys, mobiles, blankets, diapers…. everything we could possibly need! Thank you everyone! All four of us are so lucky to have you in our lives!!!
