Baby Shower - Aug 27th

The women at my church threw an amazing shower for me over the weekend. We played a fun game where we were all quizzed on the meaning of our names. Luckily, it was a multiple choice quiz! (Kristy means "anointed", Jeff means "gift of peace", and Mia means "mine".) We also played a bingo game where we had to find people in the group who fit various categories like: gave birth in September, is a grandmother, is a little sister, etc. It was a pretty fun game and gave my mom a chance to meet many of the people I go to church with in a short amount of time! :o) The food, drinks, and decorations were amazing. The tables were covered with beautiful roses and green tulle and we drank two special drinks in Mia's honor: "the Mia"

• one part Martinelli's sparkling cider
• one part pink grapefruit juice
• splash of pomegranate juice
• garnish w/ a green grape

"the Momma Mia"

• one part champagne
• one part pink grapefruit juices
• splash of pomegranate juice
• garnish w/ a green grape

Obviously, Mia's mommy stuck to "the Mia". :0) I had a wonderful time, and Jeff and I are still amazed at everyone's generosity. Mia is going to be one of the best-dressed babies in the Pasadena area, and her parents are thrilled to have everything they need to welcome her to her new home! Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and make this such a special day!!
