Celebrating with our Nearest and Dearest

This past Saturday, our small group threw a little shower for me and Nelson to celebrate Baby Girl. We're the third couple in the group to be pregnant and we've always done something for each one, so it was fun to finally be the guests of honor :) Jenni and Trevor decorated their house so cute and made sure the desserts were on point. I could not have been more impressed with the s'mores and cupcake varieties <3






It was Jenni and Trevor, Allison and Bino, Meagan and Tyler with Malachi, and David. Unfortunately Val hadn't been feeling well, so she didn't want to spread anything. We ate a yummy BBQ dinner and played a really fun game! It was telephone-pictionary. Everyone had the number of little pieces of paper as there were people. You thought up a baby-themed phrase (mine was "Shhh! Don't wake the sleeping baby!") and then you passed the stack. That person read the phrase and then drew it. Then the stack passed, again, and that person saw the picture and then wrote what phrase they thought it was. And so on and so on. By the time it got back to the original author, it was totally wrong. We all had a really good laugh going through each card and seeing who good / terrible people were at drawing.








They were also all so thoughtful with their gifts, a mixture of things we'll need and some homemade things from the heart :)





We can't wait to bring Baby Girl into such a wonderful group of friends, and know that they will all love her just as much as us.



And just because I love documenting the movement, here's a really good one :)
