I went to a baby shower this afternoon. The guests of honor were my grandson and his wife and the baby due in March. The hosts were the expectant mother's parents.
It was an exceedingly well run shower with many traditional elements but also several new twists.
For example, while the mommy and daddy to be were opening gifts we spectators were given BINGO cards with pictures of typical shower gifts. If the gift being open was on your card you marked it. First four people to bingo got prizes. This was much more fun than just watching them open the gifts.
There was also plenty of good food and conversation. I don't know the bride's family well but they all seem very nice.
My favorite spectator sport was watching these bearded "little babies" taste testing various baby foods and attempting to 'feed themselves' chocolate pudding.
A delightful time was had by all. Now the pregnant pause. The baby is due on or about March 10.
