NOVEMBER 2011
My brother Mike McDonald and his wife Stevie were expecting their first baby due in January 2012. She was pregnant with a baby boy! I was so excited to throw her a baby shower, since I have only girls. I did a nautical theme, because both Mike and Stevie love sailing and even worked at West Marine. The theme was "Ahoy! It's a boy!" We did a breakfast brunch at my house in on Carnegie Ct in Riverside. Complete with a egg soufflé, yogurt parfaits, fresh fruit and assorted pastries. Of course, no baby shower is complete without baby shower games! So we played a memory game with assorted baby items, and guess what's in the diaper! For the diaper game I melted different chocolate candy bars and melted them into diapers. Each person then had to guess by sight and smell what the chocolate was. So funny! We all had a wonderful time showering Stevie with presents.
