Cape Cod Baby Shower Post #1

Dear Conor,

This past weekend you and I traveled to Cape Cod to visit Grandma Mary and your aunties as well as your Great Grammie as she was up from Florida.  While on the Cape you took your first train ride on the Cape Cod Central Railroad (we went on the dinner train) and you attended your second baby shower.

This shower was hosted by Grandma Mary and your aunties and took place at her house.  Guests included many relatives from both Grandma Mary's side of the family and Grandpa Adam's as well as neighbors that I grew up with and close friends.  Everyone appeared to have a great time and it was nice to be able to visit with everyone at one time instead of stopping at each of their homes.  They are all eager for your first "out of the womb" visit to the Cape!

I don't have a lot of pictures just yet because Dar came over and played photographer for the day so I have to wait until he sends me a disc.  But, I did get pictures of some of the details so I will post those for now.

Water bottles with custom labels - LOVED this detail!

Grandma Mary pinning many things onto my shirt (I received a white rose corsage and a button with a little blue footprint on it)

Diaper Cake made by Aunt Lindsay and the favors were little carriage containers that held blue bottle and white dot candies.

One of the games we played - guests had to guess how many Mike and Ikes were in the bottle.  If I remember the answer was 443 and Aunt Sarah's friend Ana won with a guess of 428.

The food - lots of yummy things to eat!

And just because I love sweets - a close up of the amazing cupcakes your Aunt Lindsay made - she even made them fit the blue/brown theme!

We also played Baby Bingo - there were three prizes given away here (one for making an 'E' on the board).



The "gift opening station" - I took this picture before everyone arrived but as you can tell - you were well loved at this shower as well!

 

Another game (Aunt Cathin likes games).  This one we all wore clothes-pins and if you said "baby" "boy" or "Josh" someone could take one of your pins.  The person with the most at the end of the shower won (Grandma Mary won this game but we think she might have cheated!)

It was a wonderful shower and I promise to post more pictures when they get here.  Between your two grandmothers - you were a very showered baby!
