Baby Shower for My Kimmy

Last month, with the help of my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law we threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law Kim.  She was expecting her 4th boy.  Her youngest is 8 and she thought she was done having kids so she had NO baby stuff.  So of course she needed a shower.  We were so worried the week leading up to the shower because she was dilated to a 6 and her doctor had stripped her membranes.  She was also  having pretty big contractions.  I was so worried that all my hard work would be for naught.  But, she was a good girl and kept her baby boy in.  
We had a luncheon with yummy food, fabulous games (Get To Know You and Name that BABY Tune), super friends and family, and lots of great gifts for momma and baby boy.
 So, here is the guest of honor....Isn't she so beautiful??
She thought her belly was huge, I thought she was tiny for 9 months along. 
 I wish I had looked that good when I was pregnant!!!

 I absolutely love the elephants with the blue & gray theme
 YUM!!!

Here is Kim's buddy Arlee - she made that super cute banner....I am so in love with the banner.

I think the shower turned out great even though we had a few "issues" (lost keys, car not starting, no cups, Kim's mom missing most of the shower....etc).....ooops....those are some long stories for another day :)
  I was so happy to work hard to put on a beautiful shower for my Kimmy.  I love her so much and I wanted her to feel loved and special.  She is an amazing lady and I love her bunches.
