Baby Shower Extraveganza!!

Al and I had our baby shower last weekend (Alex's mom was very insistent). Being men are not historically part of these showers, I really had no idea what to plan for. My suggestion of strippers was outvoted with a onesie coloring corner. Their loss.....

Me and Kirbs- we would have such a beautiful child

It was held in Saranne's clubhouse (owned by condo association), which worked out well.

 About 50 friends and family attended and we had the place decked out with streamers, balloons filled with confetti (looked cool, but a terrible idea by the way as it made clean-up difficult), and a pool table. Ma made a diaper cake (made with diapers, not cake- ....so really just a stack of diapers) and we had Mexican food and cake (real cake), and a ton of homebrews (way too much as I had to bring back home more than half of what I brought up).

Al's Uncles and Aunts

Anyho, I think it was a success and here are some more pictures:

Llyod (el pollo)- Al's uncle/cousin/thing- you know where its technically a cousin removed or something, but basically an uncle

Loki and Dad (in background) Al's workfriend's family

Devon and baby Lola (Al's cousin)
