Tamica's Baby Shower Weekend

This weekend we were in Columbia again and had a pretty laid back weekend. On Saturday we had our friend Tamica's baby shower for Lily Ann who is due around Nov. 19th or so. Jeremy headed over to our house to hang out with Tim to do manly things as there was just a little to much estrogen at his house. Abby also helped with the photos from this weekend. I had to edit some as most were of her finger, but she did a really good job.

Here is the lovely dessert table. The chocolate covered pretzels were a little too good and the cake was good as well. Hy-Vee made that and I think did a great job. The theme of the party was polka-dots as that is how Lily's bedroom is decorated. I think Abby and Landen were the only ones who ate the puffy things on the right, but they ate them all so they must have been good too.

Megan just wanted to see what Ethan was doing. Apparently she bugged him a little bit. She managed to get in to some of the presents with her scooting. She already likes tissue paper it seems and chewing on cards. No she still isn't crawling officially. She is extremely close and has maybe taken a few lunges forwards. She did pull herself up last night on her knees to an activity table which was a pretty big deal. I don't think she knew what to do with herself up there.



Abby and Landen playing, not sure exactly what, maybe Ring around the Rosy or something. This with the falling part of whatever they were doing.

Abby of course had to help Tamica with some present opening.

And what weekend wouldn't be complete without a trip to BWW's. Abby and Landen were cute with the hand holding in the parking lot. This was Saturday night prior to the Mizzou game. Tim and I only made it through the first half, but apparently that was the better part to watch. At least Iowa won again. GO HAWKS!!

Next weekend is packed full of activities. It's our annual tailgating weekend. Friday is "You bring it, we'll fry it" and I believe a little bachelor party for Chad, Saturday is the tailgate and game, and Sunday is Betsy's baby shower in IL.
So it will be very busy and we'll have lots of pictures to share I am sure.
