Val's Baby Shower

January 16 Maria (Val's sister) and I had the pleasure of throwing Val a baby shower. Maria and her mom made the food and I did the decorations and invites. We had a great turnout and Val made out like a bandit. I loved being with Val's family, I feel very comfortable with them. They are terrific people.. Just like Val.

Gift table
(we didn't get a picture of the packed table after everyone had showed up)
Refreshments
("E" for Elizabeth cupcakes, relish tray and fruit tray with a wonderful peanut butter dip)
Waiting for the guests to arrive
(from left to right: Hallie, me, Janet (Val's sister-in-law), Val and Karen (Val's mother-in-law) (in the back ground you can see the refreshment table)

We played a few games, since I am not one to play shower games. But we had to guess her belly size, especially since she is so tiny.

Audrie (Val's niece) was the gift getter, she was great help.
