some of the highlights:
- she provided me with thank you cards and had everyone write their own name and address on the envelope.
- she decorated her apartment with darling onesies, burp cloths, socks, diaper cakes, etc. as her gift to me.
- i'm not usually a fan of games at showers, but hers were really fun. she took everyone aside, one-by-one. with a piece of paper behind us, on the ground, we had to squat down & place one hand flat on the paper. we then had to trace our hand with the other hand, while facing the other direction. later in the shower, she said something like 'i wrote down the phrases you guys said while tracing your hand and they are what were said by mccall/tannon the night the baby was conceived'. needless to say, it was pretty hilarious.
- before opening presents, she passed out Bingo cards to everyone {besides me}. she had them all write down specific things they thought i would receive. as i opened my gifts, everyone would cross the item off of their card, if it was on there. she had presents for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. i loved this part because it took a bit of pressure off of me, knowing that they weren't ONLY paying attention to me opening gifts {i don't love attention. thanks, helena, i'm pretty sure that was strategically planned}.
