"Twice Upon A Time"

I got a really big surprise Tuesday. Instead of going to dinner at Reagran's house, I found myself at a baby shower for me and our "buns in the oven." SURPRISE! Ryan's mom Kim drove all the way here just to be there for the baby shower. I think that was the best gift. That's not to take away from the wonderful surprise party any. It was beautiful. There was a Cinderella theme for the baby shower. Just a little twist, as there are two babies on their way.
All the yummy (and pretty!) food.

Look who found the food....

The party favors were pink pumpkins.

Some of the ladies at the baby shower.

Here are the gifts all laid out on the table. The twins received a lot of really adorable clothing and other useful items (like diapers, wipes and baby shampoo). Also, we got two new high chairs. Our last was a $20 number from Walmart we bought in college. It made it through Emma and Elizabeth, and we sold it for $3 at our garage sale. So, thank you Grandma and Grandpa Kannely! And thank you everyone who planned, helped with and attended the baby shower. Thank you, thank you! However, Ryan may need to meet with the bishop to discuss his lying problem. He's had to tell a number of "stories" the past week or so. It's amazing how easily he comes up with them...

It was a fun baby shower! I also wanted to make sure you got my message about the maternity support belt. It really helped me at the end of my pregnancy with Lillian. I found it and have it set aside for you- the next time you are in Yakima, or I am in Sunnyside- I will give it to you. Just give me a call! 509-225-9367.

I'm so sad! I would have gone with Kim! This looks like a BLAST! I'm so glad it was a surprize too! All the more fun! Looks like a lot of fun gifts and the highchairs will be lifesaving I'm sure!
