Carey's Baby Shower

My friend Carey is Brooke's mom. Brooke and Dayton met at Miss Robin's daycare and preschool and they became fast friends. Brooke is now in kindergarten and Dayton is attending preschool at St. Lukes, but since Carey and I have become friends, they have been able to keep in touch. :o)
Well, Carey is pregnant and will have the baby before Christmas (they said they wouldn't let her go past Christmas, so if she hasn't gone into labor by then, they will induce. Last weekend Carey had her baby shower and I wanted to post pictures of the fun we had.

In case you don't know her... here is Carey.

The food was really presented well!

Here's a tomato crab! The entire presentation of the food was pretty.

So here is one of Carey's friends, Carey and the gal in Orange put on the shower for Carey. That gal is in the process of moving, so the actual shower was held at Shara's house (Carey's cousin's).

The gals closer are Carey's aunts and some other friends in the background.

And pictures of the guests on the other side of the room.

Here's Carey on one of the games... you know the one, take the string and see who is closest to the actual size of Carey's tummy. The string she is holding is the one that was closest to her true size (that was mine... I won that game, I guess I hug her a lot Ha Ha!!)

Now this was a game I've never played before. You divide the guests up in 2 teams. Everyone gets a balloon. They stand in a line. One person on each team starts to blow up a balloon. They have to blow the balloon up, tie it and put it under their shirt before the next person in line can blow up their balloon and tie it and put it under their shirt and so on. After the last person puts it under their shirt... The first person needs to take the balloon out and pop it, then the next person and so on... the team that finishes (the last person to pop their balloon first wins). It was a funny game. The entire team gets a small candy bar as the winners (my team didn't win).

Here's Shara trying to pop her balloon by stepping on it (I thought it was easier to sit on m

The other game played was another unique one. The person throwing the party went to Wal-Mart and listed out a bunch of baby stuff. As she rattled it off, we needed to put down the price we thought it was. At the end, we added it up (this is what they are doing here). I had $555.55 for my stuff, I believe the grand total was around $700.00. WOW it's crazy how much this baby stuff is (and you would think I would know since I JUST went through it, but I was still low on my estimates). LOL!!

I loved this outfit, I thought it was just so dang cute!!!

You already look so proud Carey!!

Carey just loved this book, I think it's a book of Anne Geddes pictures (I'm not 100% sure) but she sat there looking through it for a while...

Here's Carey opening the rest of her gifts.

I'll have to ask Carey who this friend was, I just thought she looked so cozy and comfy on the couch.

We can hardly wait to see the little one Carey! We are so excited!
