Everything was done so perfectly! My sister and mom did sooooo much to prep for the shower, seriously!
We first just gathered together, did some quick intros and ate. On the menu were chicken salad sandwiches on crescent rolls, fruit kabobs (courtesy of my friend Brittany), bran muffins (my addiction that my mother-in-law makes), a strawberry spinach salad, & Nothing Bundt Mini Cakes for dessert. Delish!!
After eating waaaaay too much, we moved back into the family room to do a couple of games.
This game was hilarious.. Everyone put a paper plate on their heads and tried to draw what they thought Lincoln would look like. The concentration on people's faces killed me! Some drawings were surprisingly good and others (like mine) looked like a cup of raman noodles haha!
The second game was to feel around inside my *new* diaper bag and guess what the items were inside and write them down. It was way hard because we couldn't start writing anything down till the very last person had put their hand in the bag! Kill me. I only got like 3 things and there were 10 or something. I have a terrible memory apparently.
After games I opened gifts and heard some great advice as I did. One of my favorite tidbits that stood out to me was to let the house get messy.. To essentially focus on the most important part, which is my family and meeting their needs. Screw vacuuming or laundry when the babes are awake and needing mommy.. My most important job is to be there for them and show my love to them.
We were incredibly blessed with some amazingly darling gifts and outfits.. I seriously cannot wait to meet Mr. Linc and dress him up!
I meant to take a picture all together but completely spaced it (again, my memory is just amazing!) but did grab this gem with some of my friends from high school.
Love these girls!
