Recker Shower!

Jamie's baby shower was yesterday. We had a great time! There was a pretty good turn out of people but still so much food! We did an afternoon shower with appetizers and cake. Fruit pizza, chicken cracker dip, puppy chow and pickle/ham wraps were to name a few! The cake turned out really well. We took an invitation into target and they created it based off that! I am including a copy of the invite because I have to show off my work every once in a while and they are just too cute. I looked at Jamie's comforter she has picked out for the baby and redrew some of the characters on the computer. It's hard to come up with a theme of colors when you don't know the sex of the baby so Emily and I thought it would be safe to use the bedding Jamie picked as the theme for the shower! It all looked great! We played three games. First of all we passed around some string and every one cut off a piece that they thought might fit around Jamie's belly. The second game we did was a candy bar game. Emily went out and bought about every candy bar/candy you can think of and for each candy you got a clue (ie. Grandparents would match up with lifesavers, umbilical cord would match up with twizzlers, breastfeeding would match with milky way, etc.). I thought that game was so cute! We also played a game of memory where we placed several items on a try that Jamie would need (clippers, nasal aspirator, bib, etc.) and people would get a few seconds to look at the tray and then write down as many of the items as they could remember. The games were fun and then we were on to gifts. Jamie got a nice variety of things she still needed. Casey made an awesome scrap book baby book, she also received a baby bath and many other supplies. Not knowing what the sex of the baby was kept people from buying clothes so that was a good thing...Jamie didn't want a bunch of green and yellow outfits!! I think the shower was a success! Congratulations Jamie and Keith...we can't wait to meet the newest addition to our family!
