I wanted a shower for Aaron as I didn't have any boy things, I had everything for babies but no boy clothes. Yet I didn't want to throw one myself, seemed a little presumptuous. So I called it a party and my mom was the one who gave it for us. I thought it was kind of fun for everyone to meet Aaron.
We ended up having an open house with everyone nearby though I had 2 games planned. We had a buffet of fruit, crackers and chicken salad, vegetables, trail mix, cupcakes, chips and dip; yum yum. So people came through visited, ate and some who were first time visitors got a house tour. We couldn't have got everything together if my mom's favorite cousin Florry hadn't stopped by before hand and helped out. My mom and I were having a tough time getting things together as evidenced from invitations that were mailed only about 4 days before the event. Oh well we had fun with those that were there.
Our family with Eric's Grandma Jones and her mother Grandma Ada (who incidentally is turning 99 this week). We were so glad to see them. Actually Eric and Miriam weren't even there for most of the party I sent Eric on some errands and thought it would be good to get Miriam out of the way but it turns out with as casual as it was they should have stuck around.
Mom and some of our party decorations and the cake she made. It's a stork that says "It's always nice to get a little male". Thanks to everyone who came and gave us things, I'm still working on thank you cards. :)

I actually think every baby should have a shower, even if it's the second boy or girl...we didn't have one for Skyler and I felt bad filling out the page asking about the shower, and saying "none". I'm glad you had one! That's great, especially since you really needed one.
What a cute idea for a cake!
did you get lots and lots of clothes? ;-) i was waiting to see that to see if i needed to go on a shopping spree for the little man, lol...
