Anyway, I had a great time hanging out with friends, and Chewie got some pretty sweet stuff!
 |
| We were laughing about Rachelle's present wrapping job. The bag she planned on using was too small...and then she couldn't find the tape...except the packing tape. It was a very funny story! :) |
 |
| A bag of plastic building blocks. |
 |
| Yay! Prizes! |
 |
| Baby clothes from Angie! |
 |
| Sock monkey things from...I cant remember...good thing it's written down somewhere! |
 |
| The cutest little owl hat (along with some clothes and socks) from Lucy. She is an awesome crocheter! She made the hat herself! |
 |
| A book called "Mama do you love me" from Julie and Reagan. (Complete with inscription to Baby Hanzon.) |
There were many other fun and thoughtful presents along with these. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends!
And for our Young Women activity night last night, the leaders threw me a surprise baby shower! They are so sneaky! I had NO idea. We played games and ate cupcakes and I got more fun presents. I don't have any pictures from it though. (Another leader took some, I think. I will have to ask her to share.)
One of the "games" was for the young women to write some advice down for me (and Luke--the soon to be parents). I was impressed at how insightful and clever some of them were.
Here is some of the advice they wrote down:
"Don't beat around the bush. Just tell your kid how it is... Who cares if they cry? At least he won't be a sissy." -Erika
"Have a prerecorded audio of Morgan Freeman saying 'be calm small boy' for every time he cries. This will grow your child into a legendary man." -Heather
"Have fun w/ baby and try to make even chores fun."
"Be patient w/ child, understand they are learning just like you!" -Hailey
"Every time I babysit a cranky baby, there seems to come a time when they are determined to make life miserable...eventually I realized that it helps to pray that they stop being terrible, because Heavenly Father is really good with babies." -Tess
