Tonight my sister invited some of the girls over for a Christmas Cookie Exchange/Baby Shower for Max. The christmas spirit was definitely in the air as we sipped spiced cider and listened to christmas music. I almost forgot about the shower part until the girls started predicting Max's due date ("early" - thank you!) and weight ("big" - hmm...maybe a Cookie exchange at 37 weeks pregnant isn't in ones best interest).
Sweet Things for Max
My friend Jess is the best gift wrapper ever. An alligator is roped around the gifts with a tag saying Max wrapped around his mouth.
The Cookie Exchange was so great. So fun to see what everyone came up with. Here are some of the yummy creations.
Thanks to my sister for hosting this fun night with the girls. We decided at the end of the night that we would do this every year. "The Cookies or the baby shower for Jess?" One friend asked. Oh dear God. Please just the cookies.
5 notes:
My vote goes for the annual cookies.
What a great shower...sorry I had to miss it, but I cant wait to come tomorrow! Hopefully you will still have some of those cookies around:)
Looks like you scored on gifts!!! Wish I could have been there - the distance is hard when I miss things like this. You are such a darling pregnant mama!
Yay, looks like a great time was had by all. You can send my plate of treats to me any day now :)
HAHA!
Wow.... Cookies, um yes I may try to convince my 9 month pregnant sister that her (favorite) Beaty boy (not named Noah) needs a Ginger bread cookie soon... And I think it's working
