Our 'Tip A Bottle' Shower recap

This fun invite came in the mail a few weeks ago and we were very excited to celebrate our little man one more time with some friends who are more like family!  Dawn and Ross, Ryan's mom and step-dad hosted what was an over-the-top non-traditional baby shower and it was awesome!  

Dawn and me!  Someone is excited to be a Nona!

Stephanie and my mom... Ruthie, Becca, and Ben

Greg, Tris, and Jacki... Joanie the Great!

We started the night with a catered dinner- salad, fruit, bread, potatoes, and mushroom chicken.  It was all so yummy!  After dinner a few games were played and the shouting began!  First up was tippy bottle- another version of flip cup!  Setting the scene: two teams sucking down baby bottles of beer and lots of cheering and yelling!  It was hilarious to watch adult men, suck a baby bottle with beer as fast as they could!

And then we played 'Name that Tune!'  Another fun game where it was boys vs. girls and each song played had the word 'baby' in the title.  The first to hit the buzzer had to say the title of the song and the artist.  There was LOTS of shouting and taunting going on for this game.  I'm sure the neighbors could hear us next door!

After the crazy games, Ryan and I opened so many gifts!  Oh my word- thank you, thank you, thank you for spoiling our son!  He is one lucky boy!

The 'Who Pooped' book!  And someone can be Batman for Halloween this year!

Dupree even got a little sweater!  Go Wild!  And the most adorable bomber jacket ever!  Looks like our son is ready for a motorcycle ride with Papa Rosco!

A dragon full of goodies... note: Dupree thinks this is his toy!

The softest blankie ever and our Rock N' Play Sleeper-- which it looks like Ryan is pretty happy about!

Adorable cupcakes with little blue booties were served!  Soo yummy!  And from my favorite bakery: Woulett's!

A few more pictures from the night!

Awww.... Papa Rosco

 Oh hey there!

 A little campfire time...

It was a stellar evening and we felt beyond blessed to be surrounded by friends and family who celebrated the upcoming birth of our little boy!  Colin is a lucky little fellow to get to be part of this group!  A HUGE thanks to Dawn and Ross & Ben and Becca who did so much work and put together a very fun 'Tip A Bottle' Shower!

With our sincerest appreciation-
