Baby Shower #3 - May 9, 2009

Our third baby shower was on Mother's Day weekend... the end of my 33rd week! As you can tell in the above photo, I've "dropped" a lot this week. This particular shower included close friends and family and was given by my Clemson girls: Sarah Cox, Jennifer Thomas and Heather Falzetta, who was nice enough to open her home to all of us! I was happy to have Lawton with me to take lots of pictures too!Not only was there delicious food, but a lot of fun games too! The first one included yarn and everyone had to cut off the length that they thought would wrap around my belly. Whoever gets the closest wins. Not everyone was nice to me! I saw a lot of really long pieces, haha! For the second game, everyone had to draw Baby Mason on a paper plate on top of their head and I had to pick my favorite one. Those were funny to look at! The final game involved a sheet of paper with MASON REED written down the side and we were to write down baby related items that started with each letter of his name. Those with matching answers didn't count... very similar to Scattergories and very FUN!
Afterwards, we opened gifts and and enjoyed each other's company. Mason has no idea how spoiled he is! Lawton and I are very grateful for all the wonderful gifts we received this past weekend. I'm so happy that my favorite color is BLUE, because it was everywhere! Here are some pictures that we took at the end of the shower.

Love,
