Baby Shower #1

While in CA for thanksgiving I had my first baby shower! It was organized by my mother-in-law Connie and she did a great job with yummy food and a few cute games. We guessed how many jelly beans were in the bottles, filled out a baby trivia paper and guessed the size of my belly using string. I got lots of adorable clothes and Petra arranged for a new crib from Ed's cousin who was moving and didn't want to take it. I can't wait to put it up when Mike and Ty come up to visit in December and bring it with them!


This was taken after dinner at Aunt Carolyn's house in the backyard.

Here is everyone who came(except my mom who was taking the pic). It's so nice having both sides of family so close to each other!

Had to sneak in a picture of me and my mom who flew out just to see me and come to the shower. (and for thanksgiving dinner of course)

An adorable diaper cake that Connie made. It's hard to tell, but there are little baby booties that are very cute along with the stuffed animals around the outside. We took it apart before we went home and I couldn't believe I will really have a baby that will fit into those tiny diapers in only 2.5 months!

My eyes are closed but I love this picture because it shows Grandma Roskelley and Aunt Kathy cracking up over who knows what right before the picture. I love being around my family, they are crazy and loud and I love every minute of it.

Here are some of the cousins who came.

Thanksgiving

This year thanksgiving was in CA. We got in on Thursday and since we weren't eating with the Green's until Friday we stopped by the Roskelley side at aunt Carolyn's and snuck in some turkey and family love. My mom was also in town for the baby shower so we went to visit her.

The next day we went up to Chico to Aunt Evelyn's house for the official thanksgiving dinner. We had fun eating more delicious turkey dinner and visiting with the family.

Uncle Monty cutting up the turkey and the dogs just waiting for a piece to fall. I especially loved giving attention to the beagle who was 8 months old and reminded me of Louie.
