Baby Shower and day with Rebeca

Everything went smoothly today for Laura's baby shower.  Guillermo went out and got us breakfast tacos while Rebeca and I were setting up and getting ready for the shower.  Rebeca's co-host for the shower (Meredith) came at around 10am and the two of them set up the final things for the shower.  Guests started arriving at 11am.  We ate, then played a few games, then had cake and then Laura opened presents.  The last guests left around 2pm.  We cleaned up a little and then Rebeca and I went to Kohl's so that Rebeca could buy a sweater since a cold front was supposed to hit that night.  A few pictures of the shower:

This is what people saw as they came in the front door.  Rebeca did a great job of making the banner, decorating our little lamp and making the table look so inviting.

The cake was from Costco and Rebeca and I made the cupcakes.

Playing a baby shower game - guessing the contents of a diaper.  Even though we all knew it was only melted chocolate candy bars in each diaper, we all still couldn't get past what it really looked like.

The look on their faces says it all....

Laura opening presents.

 Meredith, Jennifer, Rebeca, Laura and Katie.  All friends from high school.

Then around 5, we drove to Oma's house and took her out to eat at Cracker Barrel - where we met Linda and Jacob.  We had a nice dinner together then took Oma back home.  I'm glad Rebeca was able to visit with her grandmother, aunt and nephew!
