Caleb's fiance', Tiffany, is due to have a baby boy on Nov. 9 so we had a baby shower for her on October 18. Of course with this being an important election year and me being the one to organize the shower we had to have a "political" theme. I made the invitation to look like a campaign brochure inviting everyone to a rally to support our new candidate. Promises that he will keep were included such as having women play an important role in his administration, change (at least 10 times a day), permanent tax deduction for 18 years... You get the picture!
Following the theme we had everyone vote for the best, worst, and funniest "motherhood" memories presented by the guests. Val Terry won the McCain Award for Best Memory for her story of having Zak, Tanner, and Karlee all asking her separately before she married Layne if they could call her mom (a few tears were shed during this story). Ali won the Bush Award for Funniest Memory with her tale about Ryder pretending like he was drowning in the hot tub! And I won the Obama Award for Worst Memory with my story about Bryan as a toddler putting his hand on my iron and burning it badly. Playing the game made us all miss Grandma Karla as this was her favorite part of showers.
Tiffany was presented with a nice array of gifts that included tons and tons of clothes from "Grandma Ali", diapers and diaper bag, gift cards, camera, and a special gift from Ali's mom that was just for Tiff - lotions, pajama's and robe! She got a very nice variety and really appreciated everyone that came. Attendee's included Ali and Ryder, Kathy (Ali's mom), Theresa, Tera and Tenlee, Val and Karlee, and Nyla and Bradee. We all enjoyed a lunch of corn chowder in bread bowls, relish tray, donuts and apple cider. Thanks to everyone that came and supported Tiff. Now we just have a few more weeks to wait for my great grandson!
