Co-Ed Baby Shower/Birthday Party

I am finally getting around to blogging about the baby showers we had. This is the Co-Ed one that my fabulous friend Caroline threw for us. Her friend Randun and one of my clients Elise helped her.
We had it at a club house in Aliso Viejo. This is the best picture we got of the venue. We were right next to the pool so the smokers club hung out outside.
Here are the guests of honor. We had so much fun. Everyone was so generous and we were so glad that people took the time to come join us to celebrate the expanding of our family. These people are my family and will be aunt's and uncle's to our son!

Sterling took the time out during the party to teach my client and friend Elise to play Rock Band. Since we were having a co-ed shower I thought it would be a good idea to being something the guys would like to do while the girls do their thing!

The Loot!

Ryan and Sterling rockin out!

The games Caroline came up with were perfect! The first game was the clothes pin game. Everyone got a clothes pin and couldn't say Jaxson or baby or you got your clothes pin stolen. Who ever had the most at the end of the party won! This was a very fun game. My brother in law Brad won this game. The second game was guess how many pieces of candy are in the container. Adrienne won this game. Gotta love my family.

Here are the party planners. Great Job Girls! I love these girls.

These are 2 cheesecakes that Caroline's Mom made. They are Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake. Soo freakin delicious! Thank you Barbara!

A few guests, Jenny, me, Matt and Justin.

These were the favors. Caramel Apples and Andie's Mint Cookies. Caroline went with the green and brown theme. So cute and so much work! She is simply the best!
All in all we had a blast! Everyone brought food to share and we had enough for all. Thank you again to all for coming and making the party so fabulous. Sterling and I have such wonderful friends surrounding us.
