June 27th - Baby Shower Next Door

Well ... as usual we are a bit behind on our blog entries ... but here is to try to catch-up a little.

On June 27th we had the coolest baby shower ever. Neither Neil or I have enjoyed baby showers in the past and faithfully made a point in avoiding them (All the comments on our potential for parenthood and what we were missing were just a bit too much to take). But now it was our turn and our next door neighbors Vicky and Steve really wanted to take the opportunity to get our friends together and have a good time. Here are a few pictures of all the fun:

Instead of the traditional "sweets bonanza", we had several Brazilian finger foods, mimosas (they kept me at Sprite as my hard drink) and a delicious chocolate cake.

We played TP the belly to guess the size (Neil came in the closest, but he did not count because he had insider trading information),

There was an award for the heaviest purse weight (I was relieved when I realized the scale was not for me),

Guess the number of M&Ms in the bottle (which turned out to be a practical joke between Steve and the other male guests).

and guess the chocolate bar in the messy diapers (yes I tasted them because I cuold not tell what it was by just looking).

Neil and I were blown away by everyone's generosity and love. One friend travel 2 1/2hrs to participate (Terry), another came into town from a bussiness assignment and turned back arround the same day (Nicki) and so many others came from all over town just to be there.... here are just a few pictures.
We trully had a great time!
