Baby Shower in MN

Last weekend I went home to Minnesota for a long weekend, and a baby shower! Sarah, Emily and Grandma put it together and it was SO much fun. I was amazed at the number of people that came, and especially that so many came from out of state! (Four from Illinois, including Troy's mom, and two more from Wisconsin!)

Playing the "cut a piece of string that will fit around Anne's belly" game. There was a three-way tie between Carol Earnest, Carol Erickson and Ellen Carlson for the win!

Our beautiful luncheon table....

With Emily and the super-cool "diaper cake" she made for me!

My sister gave the baby lots of books, including this favorite from our childhood, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"

Emily ran the last game, which involved changing a diaper on a baby doll while blindfolded. Here Jess and Ellen face off against each other!

The Grandpas and Craig came at the end of the shower and enjoyed some cake.

Thanks to Grandma Barb for the photos!
