Taryn's Baby Shower

We had the privilege of hosting a Baby Shower for Taryn on Saturday!  Amelia made these little booklets which had the games in them ...

We set up the back verandah with pink and blue lanterns and bunting ...



and used a little bit extra to hang out in the front garden ...



One of the games we played was the memory game, where you have a tray of different baby-related items, and after looking at it for 15 seconds, it is covered over and everybody has to write down as many things as they can remember ... (it's harder than it sounds!)



  

The "thank you for coming" gift bags ...


I made these little onesie cookies, using the same recipe as here ...




Our dear neighbours sent over this beautiful Black Forest Cake for the special afternoon tea ...




We thought we would try out the "panorama" setting on my new camera (it's funny how it makes the house look curved!)


Joel was able to spend some time with Matthew during the afternoon, but came to help Taryn open the lovely gifts ...

We're so excited about the new baby, and can't wait until the end of next month!
"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward."
-Psalm 127:3
