Shower Recap

Saturday we had our baby shower here at the new house. Tiffany’s co-workers had thrown her one earlier over lunch some weeks back, but this was organized by Tiffany’s friend Kristy...with an assist from Tiffany’s mom. They both did a very good and extremely thoughtful  job. It was a co-ed shower, but the guys were outnumbered by the ladies.

There were games, very good food and some very nice gifts. One of the games was to guess the number of M&M’s in a baby bottle. Having been to several co-ed showers before, I’ve honed my skills at this game. I’ve won before being as close as 10 M&M’s...Saturday I guessed the number of M&M’s exactly, i type again...EXACTLY..277.

I was pretty impressed. No one else seemed to care or found it unusual. One of our friends guessed over 1,000! I got it exactly right! Looking back, I’m wondering if Kristy went through the guesses, saw what I put and just said I got it exactly right to be nice.

I’ll get some pictures up at some point. I need to take some of the new house too. We had gotten things pretty settled and organized but now we have a wide array of boxes and such containing baby items. Once all that is organized, I’ll take some pictures.  I was thinking on the way to work today after dropping my mom at the airport, (She was in town for the shower and was a big help as well) that I might be able to relax this weekend for the first time since moving. Sure enough I get to work and Cyndi, our office manager mentioned how she will be decorating for Christmas this weekend. 

Now I suppose we don’t have to put up the tree this weekend, but if it doesn’t happen this weekend, who knows when it will. So I’ll be starting another burn pile this weekend (clearing some dead wood in our yard) and dragging Christmas decorations from the garage into our living room and assembling our tree.

This will be our last Christmas as a duo, unless our little one comes two weeks early which I suppose is possible. If that does happen, we are fairly well prepared thanks to Saturday’s baby shower.
