Oh what fun--here's me enjoying my second (and last) baby shower! Friends Wanda and Karen, and my mom threw this for me at Wanda's house on Sunday, April 11th. It was lovely. The decorations were everything Asian, which included paper dragons and lanterns, red carnations, Chinese napkins and plates, sweet-and-sour Pork, fried rice, veggies, Chinese plum candies, fortune cookies, and almond cookies.
Guests were asked to dress in red and gold. What a nice surprise that was! My friend Heather kindly loaned me an authentic Chinese robe her husband Dave brought back from one of his business trips to China. Her mother also knitted me a lovely, soft black and gold scarf/sash. Each item matched what I was wearing perfectly!
It was so wonderful to see all my friends in one place at the same time...that was the best part. And the gifts were great, too! Lots of baby clothes (very much needed), everything Pooh (very much loved), and great safety items such as a baby gate and baby bedrails, and more.
Here the girls and I play shower games. I failed miserably. 
Who goosed Betty?
Here are Jackie, my brother Dave's beautiful girlfriend, Wander (our petname for her), and my friend and neighbor Margo. That's Betty's hair on the left...pretty color.
My stash!
Another shot of the shower. Note the pretty clothes hanger decoration.
The clothes on this hanger turned out to be a gift from Wander!!
Hey, this bonnet's a little tight!! Thanks to everyone for making it such a special day for Kevin and me... and a special thanks to Wander, Karen and Mom for taking the time to make it all a beautiful memory I'll always treasure.
