A Shower for Bridget and Tiny Nathan

Last Saturday LuAnn and I co-hosted a bridal shower for Bridget. We went with a sports theme since Nate was such an athlete and many of the attendees are family friends made through the many years of sports between the Wyss children and their teammates.

We kept it simple and had 1 activity and 2 quick games. A set of ABC blocks were out for guests to decorate as they enjoyed brunch foods and mimosas or fauxmosas :) I created a diaper cake for the occasion to double as decor and useful items! I'm obsessed with these bibdanas for little boys! They aren't exactly my style for girls, but I just love them on boys!

Guests also took their time guessing the contents of bags with each one letter of the word "Baby Shower" on it. The contents were baby items that start with that letter of the alphabet and it is a tough game! We definitely took some liberties, like our Y - yellow duck!

Guests also brought a onesie that was special to describe them or their relationship with Nate and Bridget. My favorite was the person who is the wife of their lawn maintenance person, who is also the mother of one of Traci's fellow softball players, brought a John Deer onesie! Some were easy, like ours which said "Cousins make the best friends", and some were more subtle like that one. It makes present opening more interactive to watch, which is especially nice for larger showers!

For favors LuAnn gathered a chap stick, a candle, and a nail file for each person. She labeled each of them with a cute saying too! We also had everyone sign a soccer ball with a fun message to the little guy!

Afterwards we took advantage of this being the last time we would see each other while we were pregnant together and took some sweet photos to commemorate the occasion! I gave Bridget that shirt to tell her and Nate we were expecting - announcing afterwards that I had a matching one and unzipping my jacket to show it off. She had the cutest reaction letting out a little squeal and jumping up and down! Caidyn and the new cousin shirts had to make an appearance, too!

Now all that is left is for Tiny Nathan to arrive! She is due February 11 so any day now we will get the exciting news! Congratulations, again, Nate and Bridget! I'm not sure if I ever shared with you guys but when Brian was pushing for a second baby last year I kept saying arbitrarily, "when Nate and Bridget have a baby then we can have a second one". I'm glad it really is working out that way :)
