A Baby Shower for Baby Lotten

On September 22nd we has a baby shower for my Sister-in-Law Erica. She and Doug and expecting their first child at the end of November. They do not know what the sex of the baby is... which is so exciting!!! I am thinking that it is a boy...but you never know. The shower was a success and I hope everyone had a wonderful time. Above is a picture of my cousins Maria and Jenna. It had been too long since I last saw them and I cannot believe how big they are now. Below is a photo of the radiant mom-to-be!!! Pregnancy definitely agrees with Erica and she looks fantastic.
The Parents-to-be Doug and Erica. I think with all the wonderful gifts they received they are pretty prepared for the arrival of the little one.
How appropriate for Doug's child... a firetruck placemat.
As standard for me... the photos are out of order... one day I will get a handle on that.
One of the "activities" at the shower was to have every guest pick a number and take a notecard. They were asked to write a card or letter to baby Lotten to be opened on his/her birthday (the number they picked was the age at which their letter will be opened). I think this is going to be wonderful the baby as he/she grows up and also for Dougie and Erica to enjoy for many years to come! Below even Katie and Allison participated in the birthday letters... Allison wrote a card for the 1st birthday and Katie for the 2nd.

Looks like the baby shower was a success! I have a feeling it is a girl! However, I have NEVER, NOT EVEN ONCE, guessed correctly, so it probably is a boy! I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to the shower, but I'm glad everyone had fun and they got lots of stuff!
