Out first baby shower was in Alabama on Thursday, May 28 and was hosted by Robert's dad and his wife. We made the 12 hour drive to Alabama on Monday and came back to Missouri Friday evening. It had been about a year and a half since we had last gone to Alabama. This trip included swimming at cousin Marla's pool, a trip to the beach and estuarium at Dauphin Island, Bellingrath Gardens & Home, and catching up with lots of family.
The shower was super fun, and I'd say we had about 25 people there. We enjoyed a dinner of chicken salad, fruit, veggies, chips, and cake. It was a fun party, and lots of Robert's aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents were there.

The day after we got back from Alabama we had a shower in Bolivar (May 30). This one was hosted by a couple of my dear friends and sweet moms of friends. The shower was at the CMH community rooms where we had our wedding reception which was fun. We had cupcakes and fruit, and played a couple of fun games. Leigha had a board of about a dozen pictures of Robert and a dozen pictures of me, and the guests had to match our ages to the pictures. We also played a game where Leigha and Tarah would name a TV show and we had to list the names of the children on the show. I was on the winning team. :) It was fun to share this time with such great friends, my mom, and Robert's mom and sister. Robert didn't come to this shower, but afterward we went to lunch with Mom, Serina, and Bethany so Robert wasn't completely left out. Haha!
