My very sweet and generous sister Lissa threw me an amazing baby shower at Lisa's Tea Treasures last weekend. There were about 15 guests at the shower, consisting of many of my female friends and family. Lissa did a great job keeping everyone entertained and the shower moving along.


Once most people had arrived we all took our seats at two tables and were served the cutest tea sandwiches and two varieties of tea. While we ate Lissa came around with a board she had made that had photos of several babies on it. Everyone was given a sheet and they were supposed to try and match a list of names with the correct baby photo. Some of the photos were of shower guests and some were of celebrities. It was fun!

We also played a game where Lissa gave everyone some yarn and they were asked to cut it when they thought it measured my new belly circumference. I then went around and tried each piece of yarn around my waist so we could see who was the closest. Of course my knitting-designer friend Tina got it right (she does measure out yarn all day long!).


After we finished our tea and sandwiches Lissa had me move to the front of the room to open gifts. Between each gift she gave an answer to the baby photo game. One gift I knew about beforehand was a beautiful baby blanked Lissa had knit for the little guy.

After the gifts were done it was time for us to leave. Lissa had made adorable mint favors and her sister-in-law Heather had made yummy tea cookie favors.

All-in-all it was a great shower and I feel so lucky to have so many generous and kind friends and family.
