Chrinnlavinettamoss: Baby Shower

I've been anxiously awaiting my baby shower since we moved to Nor Cal in July. My ole' roomies made the trip from AZ to be here for it!! Ashley's mom, Jeanne has been planning it since July and all her hard work paid off. She has taken such good care of us since we moved here and my baby shower was no exception. I had so much fun and couldn't believe how much Jeanne did for this party. She is amazing and you'll see what I mean in the pics below. It was the best baby shower ever! The only thing that could have made it better was if my mom and sisters could have been here for it.

(The ole' roomies) Kathy, Kzimbo, Jill, Ash and me.

The food was amazing.

Jeanne made all these fancy desserts herself. She spent a week baking. A week, I tell you! She also made the bread for the sandwhiches and dyed the bread pink and white. We had fudge, toffee, lemon tarts, chocolate covered bananas, a variety of cookies...I'm gonna stop cause you just had to be there.

So I mentioned this party has been in the making for months now, and when Jeanne first started talking about who I would invite, I thought the only people I know are coming from AZ. But as time went on, I've gotten to know some great women in my ward. Everyone has been so nice to me and made me feel welcomed since day one. It was so great to have them at the shower also and offer so much support for the trials of parenthood. Here are some pics of some of the guests.

Some of the young women leaders I work with and another one of my girls, Whitney.

Kim, Kathy, Jill, and Chandra. (Chandra is the wife of Chris' best friend Josh)

Yay for family! Kiley, Ashley, me, Shannon, and Elise.

Ashley and Shannon are my sisters-in-law and Kiley and Elise are my nieces (Shannon's daughters). They drove over from Sacramento and it was so great to see them. Wish we could see them more often cause they are a lot of fun.

After everyone ate and chatted for a bit we played some games. One of the games we played was the string game to guess the circumference of my belly. Kathy won thanks to her 1 to 1 ratio trick but she was gracious enough to give it to the next best guesser, since she was the one in charge of the game.
