First Baby Shower!!

On Saturday, Lynne, Kelly and the girls threw us our first Baby Shower/BBQ. We called it a Baby BBQ because the boys were invited too. We had so much fun visiting everyone that was able to make it. The BBQ was up in Mukilteo at Lynne's parents house. The boys played downstairs while the ladies gathered upstairs to catch up and mingle. Once the food came out, the boys came up to eat and then joined in watching Trav and I open the gifts that everyone brought for Payton.

Payton got spoiled with so many wonderful gifts that everyone brought him. He received the cutest outfits, Coug and Seahawk apparel, lots of blankets, a
bath set, and so many useful gifts!!! Aunt Hillary filled a Radio Flyer Wagon with lots of goodies, which was so great of her! I am sure Payton and his dad will get a lot of use out of that wagon.
The girls put on a raffle for anyone that brought diapers and gave away the ultimate beer and wine packages to the big winners - Bryce and Kristi!!! Thanks to the raffle we are stocked for a few months with plenty of diapers! Even Trav got a set of
his own - thanks Bryce, good looking out! On Sunday we started to put all of the goodies away in the nursery and it is starting to look like a little boys room! So exciting!!

We wanted to thank all the girls that helped out! It was such a fun afternoon and we truly appreciate the thought and energy that was put into this fun event! We are so thankful to have such supportive, loving people in our lives!! Thanks to everyone that came, you made our first Baby Shower SO much fun!!!
Trav tried all the clothes on to make sure they looked good! Lauren (Lolo) and Tristan, so cute!! Rauh made a cake! I loved it! Definitely an E for effort! ;)Nursery is starting to fill up!Radio Flyer!!!!! So much fun!

What lovely pictures.
We always add a BBQ to the baby shower to entice the men to attend. You didn't mention any baby shower games. I always have an extra good time when we get the husbands to participate in the baby shower games. Did you play any baby shower games? And did you get the men involved?
