That's What She Said...: BABY PALOOZA: A Celebration of Baby Boy Everett

A few weekend ago my friend Celeste and I threw a baby shower for the third member of our trio, Melissa...and her husband James.

We wanted to make sure the shower was filled with as much hilarity as our friendship. I think we achieved our goal! The food was mighty tasty as well

I did a repeat on the Snickerdoodle Cake that I made for Charles' birthday...yummy!

The full spread...we had to laugh at the amount of butter and cream cheese that we used through out our menu! So healthy! Hey...there is some fruit there :)

Melissa HATES shower games! In fact, I was told if we played "Guess the melted candy bar in the diaper" she would throw Celeste and I off the porch!
I also knew that there could be no touching of that precious belly...she has limits!

So this caused Celeste and I to become extra creative. We had to think about what would make Mel laugh.

Game 1: Frozen Fetus (thanks to my Aunt Terri)
Objective: freeze tiny plastic babies in ice cube trays. All party goers receive a baby cube when drink are poured and the first person to thaw out there tiny babe WINS! We used baby themed candy for prizes (Sugar Babies, Sour Patch Kids, etc...)

The Baby Mama...cheating!

Game 2: Baby Everett Potato Head (party fave!)

Objective: Using push pins and actual picture cut outs of Mom and Dad's facial features (eyes, nose, mouth, ears)...create the best Baby Everett Potato Head. This was hilarious! See below:

So scary...and funny!

Game 3: Diaper Dialect (no pictures taken)

Fill a basket with diaper and sharpies

Objective: Write funny sayings, words of wisdom, etc... on the diapers in order to make parents chuckle during late night diaper changes.

We were belly laughing while doing this...inside jokes were being slung left and right! So FUN!

Time for presents!!!

Good Daddy! Picking up the trash

In our gift basket we included a special treat for James...a Sasquatch Beef Jerky Stick (last minute grocery store find). Always fun to get a giggle out of Jamesy.
