Emily's baby shower was an absolute success! The guest list of attendees were: Great Grandmothers: Nina Fitzpatrick, Betty Hughes and Phyllis Emeigh . Grandmothers: Susan Markovich, Debbie Gelzinis, and myself. Great Aunts: Casey Huether, Robin Dumler, Debbie Grill, Kathleen C. and Mary Katherine Gonzales, Amy Emeigh. Aunts: Amber Dumler and Alyssa Gelzinis . Cousins: Eva Huether and Ethan Dumler.Second cousins: Amanda Wilson and Amanda Grill. Friends: Beth Shepard, Linda Barnes, Karen Young, Lisa Ellie, Bryce Ellie, Lisa Bartley-Estep.
The decorations were done by Emily Gelzinis and Beth Shepard. They were fantastic! The "cloud and rain drops" were great!!
The food was provided by Greg, via the Olive Garden. The menu consisted of Salad, bread sticks, marinara sauce, Lasagna, 5 Cheese Ziti, Chicken Alfredo, Tiramisu and cupcakes. The food was DELICIOUS!!! We had a variety of sodas, wines, sweet tea and water.
We ate first and then went right to the presents Jeff was on Skype and got to say hi to everyone. He was able to stay on to see the presents open. They got so many nice things.
The diaper doggie cake made a great centerpiece, if I say so myself! All the guests seem to like the gift bags they received, as the left. They were filled with a picture frame, bottle of water, personalized Hershey bar, votive cup with "soft blanket" candle, and a bottle of Bath and Body Works, Antibacterial "Fresh Picked" scent hand wash.
The living room was full of presents! They got so many great gifts and only one repeat gift! The registry at Babies R Us, must not have been working correctly, as we looked up the registry and several things had been purchased, but the registry did not reflect that.
A Big thanks goes out to all those who helped "behind the scenes". Karen, Amber, Linda, Beth and Emily!
