Not Your Typical Baby Shower

We had our baby shower the day after I graduated (see previous post for those pictures).... yes, it's been a busy couple of weeks! My friends Naomi, Jill, and Beth-Ann put together a great shower that was held at the local brew pub that Mike likes to go to after work, the Cambridge Brewing Co. Why not be able to throw back a couple of beers while ringing in a new baby into the family. It was a fun time, and the girls even planned games such as name that baby animal! Who the heck ever heard the word for a baby eel!!? Those who knew that MUST have used their blackberry phones.. aahhemm... Nevertheless, prizes were handed out for the one who got the most baby animal names (what the heck is a signet?) and the one who could most correctly guess the number of jelly beans in the baby bottle (I got to keep the bottle of course). Believe it or not it was a three way tie! Three people guessed 269 jelly beans.... and there were 271. That's pretty close! I've never been good at estimating that sort of thing.

We got loads of cute clothes and stuff for the baby, now I'm homebound trying to figure out where to put it all.


And both grandmothers were around to help celebrate!

Nothing like having a beer tower at a baby shower!
Everyone was pretty wiped out after a long day of eating and chatting....
