First ever Baby Shower in Taulabe! So our dear friends, Paola and Lupe, are expecting their second child, first boy, at the end of this month. When we asked Paola if she would like a baby shower, she said that she had only heard of them from the TV and had always wanted to see what they actually were! So Bry decided to throw her a baby shower. It wasn't quite as easy as we expected since they don't sell any decorations here for baby showers. So Bry had to make everything by hand, even cutting streamers strip by strip from huge sheets of tissue paper! But everything turned out pretty cute in the end. The theme was baby monkeys!
A sister made cute little party favors for the guests:
Amanda and Janelle made amazing cupcakes that were SO adorable!
We played all kinds of baby themed games with prizes. Everyone loved them. Haven't seen them laugh that hard in so long! It was great!
One game was called "Besitos en la Boca". You had to fill your mouth with marshmellos and then get your team to guess some baby themed words like bottle, diaper, etc... Hilarious!
Then it was time to open gifts. She got some really beautiful gifts. I especially loved a handmade, embroidered bib that a little 12 year old girl made for her. It said "Lunes" on it so she can use it on long service days on Mondays!
Auntie Trudi mailed down here some gorgeous handmade blankets for the baby and his big sister, Andrea. Paola loved them!
Everything turned out great in the end and everyone had a good time. I think we've started a trend!
