Minnesota Baby Shower

We have been so blessed to be living in Minnesota and to have been able to meet so many incredible people.  We have made truly great friends.

Some of those friends were extremely kind and threw me a baby shower about a month ago and it's about time I get to posting about it!
Everything about the party was SO great!  Seeing so many people there to celebrate with me (and talking with several people who wished they could be there but couldn't make it) made me feel so loved.  The theme was DARLING - it was Dr. Seuss to go with the Thing 1 and Thing 2 idea of our twins.  The whole night was a blast.

A huge thank you to Becky, Michelle, and Cathy for planning the shower.

***Becky, I didn't get a picture with you!! I'm sorry :(  So this pic is from YOUR baby shower.  
We need to take more pictures together b/c I could only find like 3 with just us two.

The Adorable Decorations
 The banner says, "Welcome Gille Twins" and 
then there are Thing 1 and Thing 2 onesies underneath


 This was a gift and a decoration - a diaper cake!

 Balloons and pom poms with lots of yummy food including green eggs and ham :)

 Cute party favors that say,
 "Thank you for coming, we hope you had fun. 
 Please grab a cookie, before you must run."  
Thank you for making these Pam!

Delicious cupcakes that were a huge hit
Thank you again Pam!


The Games
We played a couple of way fun games.  
One was a challenge to see who could put a clothe diaper on a baby doll the fastest while wearing gloves.  
Another game was to see who could get the most safety pins out of a container of rice in one minute with your eyes closed.  (Try this!  It is unbelievably hard!)
Diapering the dolls

More diapering

 Our winners from the two games: Cheyenne and Kandace!


And the best part for last....the people!
We weren't able to get a picture of everyone, so I apologize if we missed you

Thank you, thank you to everyone who was a part of this!!!
