My shower hostesses - Aunt Bettie, Me & Aunt Lois
Sunday brought on "round 2" of the baby showers - this shower was hosted by my aunts Bettie & Lois, and was held at my parents' house. The majority of our female family members were in attendance, including both Grandmas-to-be & Great-Grandmas-to-be, Aunt Cindy, Great-Aunt Renate & Lois, Cousins Kristin & Valerie, Second-cousins Dagmar & Claudette and my sis-in-law Ashley. Several family friends were there as well, such as Jeanette, Beverly, Barbara Hogan & Hazel. My friend Kim attended too - she had a wedding to go to on the "friend shower" day, so we were happy to have her with us on Sunday.
My aunts have a knack for attention to detail - everything was planned perfectly, from the baby shaped sandwiches to the baseball-themed cupcakes & favors. We started the shower with a "Mom-to-be" fact game .... each guest was given a list of facts about me and had about 10-15 minutes to memorize them. Next, they were given a blank sheet of paper & had to write down as many facts as they could remember. I think my friend Kim had an unfair advantage - she won with 18 facts! However, my aunt Cindy came in a close second with 15 correct, so she must have studied well! :-) Below are some photos from the shower - it was a perfect day with the family!
Top to bottom: the food spread, beautiful quilt made by my Great-Aunt Renate, "Easton" pillow made by aunt Bettie (using doily from Jason's deceased Dad's house), Diaper wreath from my friend Kim & finally, ALL of the nice gifts!

ACTUALLY, I got 18 out of 19 correct! How dare you slight me like that!?!
I had a wonderful time and am so glad I was able to come to this one since I couldn't be at the one on Saturday. And I felt very welcomed and had a great time!
I LOVE your belly pics -- you will definitely treasure those forever!
Oops - my bad, Kim! I'll fix that now :-) Thanks again for everything!!!
What fun we all had at our shower for Keely and Easton. It was so good to see everyone and we just love Kim. Her beautiful gift of the baby wreath was so neat. Everyone raved over it.
Yes Kim's wreath was admired by all...we had it right by the door as the guests came in...she's a very good friend to Keely and she fit right in with us like family...everyone seemed to have a really good time. Easton is a very lucky little guy to have so many friends/family that will love him as much as they love his Mommy/Daddy.
Wow, everything looks PERFECT! You have some seriously talented friends and family!!!
Fabulous baby shower, lots of great treasures there.
I am so impressed with your quilts and pillow. Man, that food is fabulous.
