ESTHER'S BABY SHOWER

Last weekend, my (Emily) mother-in-law Scherrine and I threw Esther a baby shower. How am I related to Esther? Well, Scherrine had two sons, Jason and Andrew. Esther married Jason. I married Andrew. So, Esther and Scherrine are the only girls I have on that side of the family! :)

I have never thrown a baby shower before, but Scherrine and I had such a blast planning it! This baby is Esther & Jason's second baby. You will notice their first baby (my niece Abby) all over this blog because we just love taking pictures of her! Infact, here is the little munchkin herself:

So, Baby #2 is due ANY DAY now and this time it is a precious little boy! Here are a few shots I captured at the Shower:

Esther & Abby arrive!

The darling Lion cake our Aunt Scheila made out of cake, coconut, and licorice sticks.

Special thanks to my mom and sisters for preparing the food!

YUM!

Present time!

Story Time! Esther's is originally from Baltimore, MD and all of her family is still out there. Her mom and sisters are just about the coolest people you will ever meet but they were not able to make it out to the shower. SO, Scherrine and I came up with a GENIOUS idea to have them at the shower anyway via VIDEO PHONE! Scherrine is part of ACN where they have these totally RAD video phones that can hook up to your TV. We mailed one to Claire (Esther's mom) and SURPRISED Esther with her mom and her sister as "Shower Guests". :) It was awesome!

Watching very seriously as Esther opens her gifts. ;)

The beaming Mommy.

And what's a post without throwing some Temple into it? ;)

Here is my lovebug at the shower trying out a strawberry with Auntie Aubby

It was a very good day. :) I will keep you posted and blog some pictures as soon as the little guy is born! We cannot wait!
