So this came in the mail a few weeks ago...
I was very, very excited to have our first shower this last weekend! Our friends Dustin and Liz hosted a really fun baby shower complete with Baby Olympics and a BBQ!
It was a beautiful day on Sunday- couldn't have asked for better weather. All of Ryan's college friends- specifically those related to Delta Chi- and then his dad and aunt and uncle joined us to celebrate this little boy! I have to say I was overwhelmed by what a wonderful group of friends we have! I feel very blessed to be a part of this group- as I did not go to the U of MN and wasn't part of the fraternity days. These friends are great people and I'm really glad our son will have so many Uncle Jedds (a name all the fraternity guys use to refer to each other)!
Liz planned the Baby Olympics as a fun game for the men to participate in. It was really hilarious to watch the guys run around competing in baby themed events all while wearing a balloon under their shirt. Good job Liz in organizing and getting the boys to play along!

Oh and let's compare the real baby bump to Ryan's baby bump....
Thank goodness I'm not carrying Baby Hannay like Ryan carries a balloon!
After the Baby Olympics we enjoyed some grilled burgers and hot dogs! Thanks for grilling Dustin & Ben!
We were showered and blessed with so many wonderful gifts too! This baby boy is really, really lucky! Thank you to all of our friends who celebrated this exciting chapter in our lives! And a HUGE thank you to Liz & Dustin who hosted a beautiful BaByQ for us! You guys are the best!! Baby already loves his Uncle Dustin & Auntie Liz!
Linking up today with Kristin for a little baby talk...
Feeling very blessed,
What a great idea to do a BaByQ! Looks like you all had fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun day! :) I'm DYING over the baby olympics! SO FUNNY!
ReplyDeleteHi Kari! You post such fun pictures! My name is Heather and I was hoping you would be willing to answer a quick question about your blog! My email is Lifesabanquet1(at)gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAww, this is SO cute!! We are going to have an office party for all of our work employees and I might have to "steal" the Baby-Q name. Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI also have to tell you this... TODAY we are getting the nursery painted and at like 8pm last night, Greg confessed that he was worried that the Kensington Blue color was too pastel-y... and I immediately dragged him to our computer and opened up your blog and your nursery post to show him that it is NOT too light! I mean, what would we have done?? The painter will be at our house in like 25 minutes LOL! He agreed that he loves your color and the stripes as well (which he suggested we do, but it is just too late in the process to make that decision!)
