Babies R US

This week I was invited to a baby shower for Katrina's son Lane & his girlfriend Darcel. Now I haven't been to a baby shower for YEARS. Not being around babies much anymore I didn't know what to get someone I don't know. Hmmmm So I asked around and got a suggestion of a Parents Survival Kit. It was a hit. I also picked up a book that you can make note of the moods and the latest actions of the baby. It comes complete with stickers. That might be fun for Darcel's daughter to use. Some pics of the event can be seen here. Aunt Stacy made best cake. She decorated it to match the Rain Forest bedding in the crib that Katrina and Brian gave Lane & Darcel. The two layers of the cake were of different flavors - the big layer was Raspberry Lemonade and the little layer was german chocolate. Of course, I had to have a piece of both. YUMMMM There were chicken salad rolls, deviled eggs and a bavarian molded salad. Also, there was HOMEMADE lemonade. I never tasted anything as good. Thanks ladies. I enjoyed myself lots.
If you didn't want to pay the price or just wanted to use your own creativity to make a survival kit, here is a suggestion of items to use.
