Richards & MacLaren's Baby Shower

This past Saturday, my brother, Jeremiah and his wife Janet put on a joint baby shower for John, myself, Kate & Travis. We had bar-b-que chicken, potato salad, baked beans, cole slaw, etc all under the pole barn. Afterwards, the soon-to-be dads (not moms) had to participate in a game! My brother explained that the point of this game was for the dads to empathize with the moms and what we've been going through. So first everyone blew up some balloons then they were placed so John and Travis "matched" the moms' new figures. Then Kate and I used panty hose and toilet paper to give them swollen ankles. Jeremiah then put dive weight belts around their stomachs'. Next the dads had to see who could change a diaper the quickest. I'm sad to say, Travis won by a landslide - of course he did think to use the water hose instead of wipes! Once John did finish, his baby's diaper was on backwards and their was still some chocolate left on it's legs:) Lastly, they competed to see who could chug beer the fastest out of a baby bottle - I'm proud to report, John won this game! We had a great time and a huge thank you to Jeremiah and Janet for hosting and for everyone coming!!
