My aunt Annabelle and best friend were sweet enough to throw Olivia and I a baby shower! It was seriously so much fun! Most of my friends were able to be there and then of course my mom's side of the family (minus my sweet aunt Hilary who lives in San Francisco). The decorations were stunning, the pastries were amazing, and the games were a blast! Leslie was in charge of the games and since they were so wonderful, I am going to have to share what they were.
1) When everyone came in they were given some yarn to use to guess how big I was around the middle! My friend Jessica won that one!
2) 4 volunteers (who didn't know what they were getting into haha) had to have a race to see who could eat all the baby food out of their jar first! Congratulations to Paige on that one!
3) Everyone was separated into groups of 3 and had to make up nursery rhymes about baby Olivia. I couldn't pick which one I liked best since they were all so cute so there was no winner in this game. So here are 2 of them...I think one of them accidentally got thrown away:(
* to the rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle
"Hey Bella Bella
A girl and a fella
Had a love that was over the moon,
The cute little couple fell to see
Such a site of little
baby Olivia to come very soon.
Little Olivia is not a pig
She is just not very big
Little Olivia can do a jig
and little Olivia can eat a fig
Little Olivia wears a wig
And little Olivia is in a gig
Although little Olivia is not very big
Little Olivia is not a pig!!
4) The next game we played was a baby animal quiz. We were given a list of animals and had a few minutes to guess what the baby animal of that particular animal was called. For example, did you know that a baby platypus is called a puggle? I didn't but I thought it was cute! My aunt Annabelle won this one!
5) In this game we sat in a circle and every person had three seconds to come up with a baby name for each letter of the alphabet and if you couldn't do it you were out. So we started with my friend Juli who quickly called out Anna and then next was my aunt Tiffany who looked extremely confused haha. So she paused and you could tell she was frantically trying to think of a name that started with a b but couldn't so she randomly called out beet!! Haha and everyone busted out laughing. (This is kind of a story that is funnier if you had actually been there but I just want to always remember it.)
Anyway, below are a bunch of pictures of the shower!
This was my "throne."

My aunt Annabelle knows me all to well. Anyway she gave Michael and I this huge jar full of all kinds of candy to get us through the weeks to come!
The little gifts Leslie bought for those who won the games!
The baby food eating contest!
Olivia got so many cute things that were much needed. Everyone was so sweet!
My best friends!It was so fun to have all my friends there and my sweet aunts. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many people who love and care about me. I couldn't ask for a better family or for better friends and I am so excited for our baby girl to meet all these special people closest to me!
I can't believe I wasn't there...I may never get over it! The shower looks stunning of course and it looks like it was the perfect party. I love you Isabella. Good luck in the next couple of weeks I will be thinking of you everyday. Can't wait to see you soon!!
