A Baby Shower in Pictures

We celebrated the upcoming birth of our first grandchild with a family baby shower. I could write a book about the fun we had, how the men didn't understand the silly games that were played, but I am too tired from my overbooked but exciting week-end. Instead, I'll let the pictures do all the talking for me.
 I had to make Duke part of the cake since he is a big part of Noelle and Scott's family.
 Noelle, tired with feet swollen, but oh so happy and excited about the upcoming event.
 Dinner time!
 Noelle's family with Mike and Steven
 The proud parents to be
 My great niece loved the cake so much she wanted her picture taken with the cake. Scott and Noelle just happen to be there ;o)
And Duke, the inspiration for the cake topper. This is the photo that the cake designer used to make his likeness of.
Yes, it was a fun and exciting week-end with all the going on for Thanksgiving on Thursday and baby shower on Saturday.
I think I'll need a week to re-cooperate from it all.........
