I went to a baby shower last weekend for my future great-niece. Pictured above is my niece-in-law Christi who flew in from Arizona for the shower. She is modeling a large ring baby sling.
Christi's mother Susan made this "diaper cake".
Susan on the left with Christi's Grandmother Bear on the right.
Susan seemed to have a "Bear" theme to half her gifts.
The other half of the gifts were baby things she'd saved from when Christi was a baby. Above is Christi with her blanket---the dress, cap and receiving blanket seemed more re-usable.
Susan wasn't the only one to give "gag" gifts---I gave her the video "Awesome Trains" which Doug (my nephew) so admires.
Leah (friend and cousin) gave Christi a hat that Leah thought was hideous---the snozz of the hippo is a flap that covers the baby's forehead. Christi looks like she's trying to smile.

From Auntie Lynn, Christi got a burp cloth and blanket. It was great seeing Lynn who flew in from Ft. Worth.
Rebecca (cousin) gave Christi a Mizzou tiger and several outfits with a matching headband and socks.
And Rachel (another cousin) gave little Goldilocks Provost a cute outfit that wasn't pastel pink and yet was cute and feminine. Christi appreciated the chocolate, too.
We all had a great time.
I actually won the baby food challenge!
Thanks to all of the hostesses: cousins, sister, childhood, high school and college friends.
