Shelby's Baby Shower

Kynzi Joan Tolman will be here next month, so it was time for Shelby's favorite cousin (yours truly) and her best friend Brandi to throw her a baby shower! After weeks of planning and shopping, the day finally came last Sunday to throw it all together and cross our fingers everything worked out! I think it was a great success. The decorations were perfect, the food was delicious, and most of the guests were able to come. We started by going around the room and introducing ourselves and how we knew Shelby. Then we had Shelby leave the room and everyone had to write down everything they remembered about her before she left: What shoes she had on, what color shirt, did she have jewelry on, how did she style her hair, etc. Whoever got the most right, won a prize. Then we had everyone cut a piece of yarn they thought was the right size for Shelby's tummy, classic I know! The last game was supposed to prove the difficulties of a preggo tummy by having everyone put a balloon in their shirt like a baby and then tying their shoes. This was the game that went awry because we didn't think that everyone would be wearing shoes without laces. Instead, everyone just had a good laugh about the balloons and we went on to open presents. Shelby got a lot of great stuff for Kynzi, and everyone seemed to have a good time. The biggest hit of the night? The spinach artichoke dip I made and brought. It was gone half way through the shower, and everyone kept begging for the recipe! It was a fun shower and I'm glad that I got to be a part of it!
