A couples shower for baby Jackson!

We have such wonderful family and friends!! We celebrated baby Jackson with a couples shower hosted by Jason and Dana, Chad and Clair, Matt and Tara, and Matt and Amanda. It was truly a great night of celebration complete with Jason's ribs and bbq, banana pudding, entertaining games, and good company. We felt blessed to be surrounded by so many people who already love our son as much as we do. I cannot wait for him to meet all of you! Thank you for a great night of loving on us!
PS: thanks Auntie Deedee for taking pictures!

Table all set for the feast!

Adorable diaper cake made by Dana

 

Mom, Joel, and Susan enjoying the party...

Love this idea...everyone wrote comments or jokes or words of wisdom on a diaper to give us some encouragement when doing the dirty work.

So many beautiful gifts...

Chef Jason...the ribs were amazing, as always!

 

The Henes working on their trivia game.

 

Seth was concentrating hard :)

 

Joel was way better at this than me.

 

More fun games in the back yard!

 

Future Mom and Dad ;)

 

Aunt Clair and Uncle Chad

 

Cousins Garrett and Hampton

 

Jason and Dana winning at diaper the baby game. You could each only use one hand to put the diaper on. We competed to see which couple could do it the fastest...

It is way harder than it looks...

 

Years of experience gave J & D an advantage over us...we will try this again in 2 years :)

 

Everyone had a great time playing along.

Experienced parents (Clair and Chad)...

 

And those expecting (Chelsie and Will)...

 

Some cheated... 

(this picture was taken just after John threw Matt and Tara's doll across the yard...love this picture!)

But most played by the rules.

(Ma Sue played with Hamp and PawPaw played with Garrett)

 

But everyone had a great time...

(Kaal and Stephanie competing against Jennifer and Chaise)

 

Even those who never changed a diaper until they had grandkids (Bob Hope).

 

Me and Gigi

 

The Wallace Girls

 

Great times with vet school peeps :)

A very special gift from Jackson's cousin Hampton...he handed down this picture that hung in his room when he was little. It says "Bulldawg in training."
