So my coworkers know I'm a huge nerd, and they are very nerdy as well, so when they pitched the idea of a Harry Potter themed baby shower, I was all in!
Table of snacks complete with funfetti castle and dragon bundt cakes, teddy grams and rainbow chip icing to dip them in (by my own special request, because I am a child.)
Close up on the candy. Everything was from the Harry Potter Universe, even the official labels (there may have been some light copyright infringement LOL)
Close up on the beautiful candy labels. They even made me a Harry Potter themed card.
My coworkers are not exactly what I'd call "picture people" so here is a sneaky pic I took of them when they weren't looking ;) Note the different colored table cloths to represent the four Hogwarts Houses. They also made tiny buttons for everyone to wear that denote which house we're in. We've all added them to our lanyards that we wear with our IDs. Did I mention we're nerds? haha
Everyone voted when they came in as to what house they thought B.P. would be sorted into. At the end of the party, I pulled one pice of paper out of the cauldron. I am Ravenclaw (Clever) and Casey is Gryffindor (Brave) Looks Like B.P. is going to be Slytherin (Technically Ambitious, but also according to the books, possibly Evil! LOL oops sorry buddy)
No worries, we will administer the actual test as soon as he learns to read!
Obligatory baby bump pic at home after the shower, 32.5 weeks
Casey had just mowed so I wanted a picture outside in the yard too before we took our nightly walk. He thought it was kind of weird, but I'm pregnant, so he had to oblige ;)
Pretty Sunset in the neighborhood.
A little dark since it was after dusk, but I also wanted a picture with my favorite tree on the Papio Trail. It's also fitting because I am starting to feel as large as this tree ;)
Some gifts from the baby shower, Crystal knitted me the blanket, and Abby knitted me the yellow hat (from One Piece, our shared favorite Anime/Manga series- haha Super Nerds remember?) and the purple monster booties. Lynn cross-stitched the tea towel and also gave me the baby care set. (The glider and the elephant are from mom and dad/the previous shower)
I also received a Target gift card which had enough on it to purchase our travel system, featured above. I am very blessed to have such wonderful and generous co-workers!
