Let the party begin! See all those presents on the table? That was just the beginning! |
 |
Hehhehe.. my "baby under construction" t-shirt. Not sure I'll have too may suitable place to wear it, but the baby shower seemed ideal. |
 |
Me and Grandma |
 |
Julie Kirkwood! Julie did a great job of planning party games. We had a lot of fun choosing a baby (well, a grown up baby anyway) and picking baby food, and unscrambling words and all that good stuff. |
 |
And here is Lynn (Alan's mom). I'm not sure what she's doing here, but she doesn't look too happy :/ I assure you she put together a fabulous party and was happy for it :) |
 |
Jericka and Joan |
 |
The centerpiece. Which ended up being a gift in and of itself. |
 |
Look at all the food! (the Doritos in the back were my contribution ;) ) |
 |
Amanda enjoying the food :) |
 |
Cute little party favors. They had jelly beans and little plastic babies in them. |
 |
CLOSE UP! |
 |
Time for presents. That doesn't really look like a preggo belly, does it? :/ |
 |
That's Buse in the front. She lives upstairs from Alan's parents. Her mom came to the party and brought her and her baby brother Attila. |
 |
More presents... |
 |
A basketful of lotions and goodies from Amanda. |
 |
And a little music box that plays... well, I forget right now but it's in the other room so I'll remind myself soon. |
 |
The present pile is getting smaller and Buse seems to have lost interest in watching me open them :) |
 |
Yay, baby toys! |
 |
Amanda demonstrates how a swaddling blanket works. I think it's a little small for her though. |
 |
Look at the tiny clothes! |
 |
Ack! Buried in presents. |
 |
Or maybe it's the photographer (Rosy? Mom?) who is buried in presents :) |
 |
Close up of Julie's head. I think that's me in the background wearing a cutie baby hat too. |
 |
More tiny clothes. Jericka really liked this outfit. I think it has a little frog on the butt. Very cute. |
 |
What's a Collier family get-together without someone making this face?? |
 |
Trying to make a flat paperplate hat fit on my round noggin... |
 |
Almost got it... don't move... |
 |
Got it! Yay!! (then it promptly fell off) |
 |
This beautiful quilt was made by Alan's mom. In the middle she embroidered everyone's signature. It's pretty cool. |
