Baby Shower for Brianna

My DD and I attended a baby shower for our 3rd great grandchild, due mid October. Jessica and Russ chose the beautiful name, Brianna, for her.

My daughter-in-law, Rosario, (the AWESOME Grandma) helped host the shower, along with Rosie (Jessica's Mom) and her sister, as well as family and friends.

I am very grateful that my DD drove us the 3 hours to Abilene in the rain. She is a very good driver and did well with the standard transmission after not driving anything but automatic for years. Hopefully I will be driving again soon - have not driven since knee surgery a month ago.

Of course we had to take a break from the rain on the way so we shopped for toy's for Daisy, our new chipin puppy.

The room where the shower was held, was beautifully decorated and many guests came with gifts and well wishes for this happy occasion.

We played games and winner in each received a prize. We guessed the count of cotton balls in two colors, jelly beans and bubble gum inside of large baby bottles.

We pulled clothes pins off a hanger using only one hand to see who could hold the most without dropping them -winner held 17 clothes pins in one hand !

We pulled off yarn to guess how much it would take to go around Jessica's tummy.

For people with weak stomachs, skip over the diaper picture!!

We guessed the kind of baby food in four jars but the worst were the diapers. Four diapers with candy bars smushed into them (gross looking), and we had to guess the kind of candy bars.

It was a lot of fun and looked like Jessica received a lot of nice baby gifts. We had to leave before she opened most of them so we would not be driving late into the night.

We wish the very best for Jessica, Russ and the new bundle of joy!
