In the words of James Taylor...

... "Shower the people you love with love; show them  how much you care."

Our Growth Group (a.k.a. small group, life group, small church, etc.) had so much fun showering the M's with love as they prepare for their first born.

In preparation, there might have been some child-labor laws that were broken... we call it "playing Cinderella" ...

Guests were instructed to sign the guest book puzzle (yes, I got the idea via Pinterest...) and write their name on a small piece of paper for another game, too.
 


This will be fun when baby girl is 2 and can finally attempt the puzzle... Mom and Dad can attempt to remember this shower...

Take a slip of paper from the creamer cup... write your name on it... put it in the sugar bowl...

Guests were also asked to bring a baby photo of themselves for a rousing game of "Guess Who?" It was determined that most of our mothers have yet to let go of our baby photos, and therefore, most of us do not have them in our possession!

Guests were also asked to bring a dish to share. This worked splendidly, as we had quite the smorgasbord... and I didn't have to do all the cooking ;)

Guests were also asked to bring a onesie that described themselves... things got very creative at this point. (Notice the bottom row... 4th from the left. It's half Ohio State, half Notre Dame... sewn together. Can you say, CRAFTY?!)

Mom & Dad used those slips of paper that guests left in the sugar bowl in the foyer (see above) to try and determine which onesie described who...

And, because this was a co-ed shower, we had to do the most fun game of all. Baby food guessing! Each guest was given multiple plastic spoons (no double-dipping for this germaphobe!), a piece of paper and a pen. As the jars were passed, they had to attempt to guess what the food was. This was highly entertaining... especially when it came to the guys answers...

And, of course, there was the gift opening. Is this the most adorable tu-tu ever?

Congrats M Family! We can't wait to meet your sweet girl!
