Baby Shower Fun!!!

This past Saturday (2/9/07) was the baby shower hosted by my dad, Joey, and Patrica. It was such a WONDERFUL fun time!! Miguel and I enjoyed every moment of it and are so grateful for all who came out to help us celebrate our special baby. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends who care and love us and baby Susanna already. We received many wonderful gifts for baby and have unpacked all the bags and are working hard to get the nursery set up. We want to thank everyone for their extreme generosity and kindness, WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

For those who were not able to be there I will fill you in on all the festivities. My dad of course prepared enough food and drinks for a thousand people, but that is just the Hoying way of throwing a party and I love it!!

Patricia brought a BEAUTIFUL baby themed cake which tasted delicious too.


My mom's friends worked soo hard on the decorations, games, and everything to make the party run smoothly. We could not of done it without all of them! The house looked beautiful and oh so PINK!!! I know my mom was smiling down on all of us and that she is the angel watching over baby Susanna.




The first surprise gift Miguel and I received was having my Aunt Jane and Uncle Louie drive down from Ohio to be with us at the party. My dad and Joey had planned this surprise visit and almost were sneaky enough to get away with it. I am a REALLY great detective and was able to put together some clues and by Friday morning had figured it all out. I am just so happy to have them here and to be able to share this wonderful weekend with them :)


I have included some pictures from Saturday. We did end up playing all of my favorite baby games... Dirty Diaper candy bar game, Baby Food Fear Factor, and guess the size of the preggo belly. IT WAS SOO MUCH FUN!!



We were going to use Joey to play the "Guess how big the Uncle-to-Be's belly is" game but at the last minute decided to use my baby bump instead. I want to thank everyone who joined in and played along, I hope everyone had as much fun as Miguel and I did.

Somehow Jessie left out that I won the Melted Candy Bar Diaper game. I just had to throw that in and enjoy my very brief moment in the spotlight.

We had a great time visiting all of you! The shower was a great success--even with the DIRTY Diaper game! Miguel should be proud that he won! I'm sure his nose won't get that close to the REAL thing!
Your nursery is all set and I hope these last few weeks somehow fly by for both of you! What an exciting time!

Love,
Aunt Jane
