Pure honesty here: baby showers can be very boring. Very. But! When you live in Arizona, and have a baby shower in Indiana, people kindly ship most of your presents to your house. Which really cuts down on the somewhat boring area of baby showers! I know, this is very politically incorrect, but I speak the truth. And because of this, Karen's baby shower was fun, relaxed, and everyone had more time to chat and enjoy the company. Perfect! Now I will deluge you with pictures from the shower.
Although Rowan was invited, I left her screaminess with my in-laws so that I could actually enjoy myself. Everyone else's littles were wonderful and I didn't hear one scream. I would have if Rowan had been there.
Karen is one of 5, and has a big family, so it felt like a very cozy, family event. Even for those of us who weren't related!
And of course seeing some of my very best friends after not seeing them for about 6 months is always wonderful.
I have the most gorgeous friends!
And of course Karen DID have some presents to open. Including a little Kermit onesie I made for her baby boy. Let's just say that Karen is a Muppet fanatic!
It really was a lovely shower, and almost as fun as going out for dinner and sangrias the night before. And I know Karen will be an amazing mother. She has the touch when it comes to littles!
No, she really does, I promise!
Congratulations, Karen and Phil. You will both be wonderful parents and I hope you have all the blessings of a baby boy who will bring you joy, happiness, love, and most important of all- a good night's sleep. Love you!
Fun - we don't really have this tradition in Sweden, we usually visit with gifts after the baby is born.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a fun time!! I agree about the boring baby shower part- love that y'all got to skip over that! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou might miss the baby showers one day! The Kermit onesie is awesome! Great gift.
ReplyDeleteI miss my sunshine club :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and sounds like you had a great time! Showers of any kind are usually not my cup of tea but it looks like a good and relaxed group so lucky you :)
ReplyDeletePictures are beautiful (as always) but I really love the one of Karen and her Mom the mostest. Seriously, print it, frame it, gift it. Slam Dunk! Also loved how pretty your Mom looked - and that picture of all the "Moms"...made me really homesick. On another note - where was Fletcher?
ReplyDeleteRuthie, thank you for capturing my special baby shower! You are the best friend ever! Thank you for being there and celebrating with me. I can't wait for my little boy to meet his Auntie Ruthie! xo
