Baby Shower - 2013

 April 6th 2013  Baby Shower for Baby Boy Garza 

GAMES:

The Cotton Ball Game - where your blind folded and have to spoon out cotton balls into another container. It was a fun game, but easy to "cheat" by just using the spoon to push the cotton balls instead of scoop them. Overall it was fun, the winner had 107 cotton balls in her container!

Guess the Belly Size - Breanne stood up and modeled her belly.  From there I walked around with blue yarn, everyone measured -themselves- to try and figure out how big she is.  The person that came the closest wins.  Our winner came with in an inch!!  Most everyone else's guesses were WAY to big.  Fun game, we would do this one again.

Guess  How Many M&M's - this is a fun, quick game to get things started.  We choose a juice pitcher to fill with candy, it held 1,320 m&;m's -in case your wondering...NO, I did not count EACH candy!!  I filled a 1/4 cup, counted those then counted how many it took to fill it up.  Most everyone guessed super low, the winner guessed 1,100.

The Tray game -  Not one of my favorite and I heard several others saying they don't like that game either.  But everyone played.  We had 17 items, the winner had 14 of them.  Breanne put in 2 differences kinds of thermometers, I don't think anyone got both of them.

Question/Answer game - this game has no prize but it is super funny!!!  pass out index card to everyone, have them write a question related to taking care of a baby.  they must know the answer to the question.  Example:  "How do you burp a baby?"  Once they write the question, collect the cards, SHUFFLE them and pass them back out with the blank side up.  Now tell them to write the answer to the question they originally wrote.  Don't turn the card over and look!!  Collect all the cards and read the questions and answers, hilarious because now the questions "How do you burp a baby?" will have a different answer like,  "Strap him to the table and use a warmed wipe to clean his bottom."  This game got lots of laughs and I would do this one again!!

Decorations - getting ready.  Bre and I put up crape paper, 40 balloons and other decorations
