Denver Shower!

The second weekend in January some of my Denver friends threw us a great baby shower -- and were nice enough to let my mom, Grammy, Megan and Aunt Erin come and crash!  Thanks to Jennie B and Britney from work, Katie L (yes, another Katie) from med school, and Ryan from residency for hosting!!  We had lots of fun, going out to dinner, high tea at the House of Commons, and a movie night.  While we were waiting for our movie and eating snacks the power went out -- turned into a really "romantic" evening with lots of candles --

This is with the flash:

But it really looked more like this:

 Turned out to be really fun!  Right as we were leaving for the show, the lights came back on.  A great memory!

The shower was Sunday -- complete with cupcakes:

Ridiculous amounts of food:

Kansas City Girls:

GARDEN CITY GIRLS! (Yeah!!)

Adorable little onesies that everyone painted -- I don't like shower games, so Britney laid out onesies and paint and everyone could make one whenever they wanted.  They all turned out so cute!

Here is a quote from Daddy - It's revised, as it used to be "There are no friends/wives/etc on a powder day." (Luckily with my new skis under usual circumstances I can keep up anyway.)

Another Thiessen invention -- the term "Arvada-tastic" made it onto a onesie:

AND, my dear friend from residency, Ryan, flew all the way from Seattle, leaving her kids and hubby to come co-hostess.  What a gal!  (Note the matching shirts.  Not planned.  I only have like 4 shirts, and she was dressing out of a carry-on bag, so we were twins for the day.  I was the big twin and she was the skinny twin...)

Full term today.  Woo-hoo!  Few more projects to do -- but the house is essentially ready.  Hang in there, Baby T!  Can't wait to meet you!! :)
