Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for Jason and Cecily. Our friend Heather and I had planned to have this shower right after Spring Festival and before the baby was born. Well, it didn't really work out that way. Cec ended up spending about 3 weeks on bed rest and 2 of those in the hospital before Phoebe was born.

So we had the shower on Feb 27, when Phoebe was 5 days old! We had it at Jason and Cec's house since the baby was here and so small.

Heather had to go to Hong Kong earlier in the week, but she got stuck down there and only got back minutes before the shower was to start. Heather had all the decorations with her so.......

Everyone helped with the decorations. The Chinese ladies loved it! they thought it was great fun, and we had to get them to stop trying to make bows and stuff so we could eat and Cec could open her gifts.

Cathy was also a great help to me to get as much as possible ready before Heather got there.

Nothing rarely works exactly as you plan in China, but over all I think things came together nicely.

This was the table. We had pink punch, and cupcakes and nuts. The centerpiece was a "diaper cake". ( more on the diaper cake in a later blog)

Hallie got to be the "punch girl".

The gifts! They got some really nice things.

Hallie got to hold the star of the show!
