And, unfortunately, sometimes they may be a little scared, because there is always at least one mom who has to tell their horror delivery story....why do we do that?!
We played games and ate cupcakes. But, as always, the main event was the opening of presents. There were all the basics of course- diapers, wipes, blankets and washcloths, and enough onesies to change that kid four times a day for the first four months.
But this shower had some very thoughtful and clever gifts outside of the norm. There was a rocking horse which was super adorable and fun. It was almost like an animated horse, colorful and character-like, instead of the traditional wooden horse that most people think of.
My step-son loves to hunt, and their son's room will have a woodland creatures theme. Therefore, many gifts were geared towards the outdoors- camoflouge onesies, a stuffed fox that you can put scent packets inside and set on a shelf, and sleepers with every animal imaginable on them.
But the winner for creativity went to one of the great-grandmas. She wrapped a cardboard box in muslin and leaves, and stuck a baby-sized camo hat on top instead of a bow. On the front of the hat it says, " Will hunt for hugs". Adorable.
The box itself was full of stuffed woodland animals, including a skunk and turtle. But the best one
was a huge stuffed deer head, complete with soft antlers and a cut-off neck where you can mount him on the walk.

Freaking hilarious.
So today's picture celebrates celebrations, and traditions of culture. Baby G is one very lucky boy already, and it's always great to see family and friends come together to celebrate new life.
