Johnson Baby Shower

We have a new sister in the ward and she is very pregnant.  I found out that it was her first baby and I absolutely HAD to throw her a baby shower! I had three days to throw a baby shower and while most people would completely panic and throw in the towel, I turned to the best website ever created: Pinterest! I have everything on Pinterest ready to go from dinner parties to baby showers to designs for my baby's room so the tough part was already done.  All the ideas were there and I just had to make them come to life :)

Our first game was the classic clothes pin game. Everyone gets a clothes pin and you steal other people's pins through the whole party as they say the word "cute". At the end of the party, whoever has the most pins, wins!




I had everyone fill these in for a memory book for baby Johnson:



I made her cake because it was actually a lot cheaper to make than to buy anywhere else:



This was the second game: blindfolded diaper change.  I didn't have any blindfolds so I just had everyone look up at someone throughout the diaper change. We faced off against everyone and since I'm so competitive and love to win, I thought that matching me up with the new first time mama was a good idea.  I later found out she had a whole bunch of little siblings and was actually a diaper pro (she won the whole game!). I also learned that this game was A LOT harder than I thought and I learned that Ian will be doing all the diapers because I got it around the doll's leg both not looking and looking (I have never done diapers before this and you can tell by my face below)
 Kim was seriously a diper pro!
 She even beat my mom!




By the end of the night, I was so grateful for my Pinterest baby shower board that pretty much had everything already planned! It was also great that Ian spent the whole party in another room with his guitar to help with the take-down (and he tried to teach me how to change a diaper but it didn't work)
