Megan's Baby Shower

Over the Valentine's weekend I left Kevin .... 
and took the kids up to Idaho. 

My sister Megan is having a baby in April and we wanted to throw her a baby shower.  
We had a great time!

The kids and I took two days to travel up and two days to travel home.  They did really good and we had a blast visiting Grammy, G-Pa, Aunt Meg, Aunt Emily, Grandma Great and Mackie.

We stopped in Vegas for lunch on our way up and found a little rock spot to play in the parking lot.  



There was a lumber yard over the wall from us and Natalie liked throwing rocks over to it.


  




We spent the night in Ely, NV at the historic Hotel Nevada.  They claim even Jimmy Stewart stayed here!






We slept well.  But we were very happy to get to Idaho for the party!!


This was the diaper cake game.  Guests had to guess how many diapers were in the cake and 
the winner got a prize.  


We spent a lot of Friday decorating my Grandma and Grandpas house for the shower.  






Grandma and the pretty quilt she made baby Layla.  Such a talented gal!





This was wishes for baby.  People could write down wishes for baby Layla and tied them to these branches. 









People also could decorate baby bibs.  I got this idea from my cousin's wife's baby shower where we decorated onesies.  (Thanks for letting my copy, Annie).



This is the Raggedy Anne doll mom made for baby Layla.  Aren't those the cutest colors?!





Bottle Chug game.  Natalie got to play this one and she loved it!








It was so much fun!  We loved seeing everyone but we missed Kevin very much and couldn't wait to get home to see him.  He missed us too!

Looks so fun! I wish we could have been there! That blanket grandma made is beautiful. And the doll Aunt Sandy made is very cool; ALMOST as cool as the purple haired one she made for Violet! :)

Grandma and Grandpa's new house looks beautiful!
