On Saturday, October 13, my aunts Olivia and Virginia, Miss Roopali, cousins Hazel and Prianka, and Grandma Betty threw Maya a beautiful afternoon shower. 
Lots of aunts, cousins, and friends were there to celebrate Maya's coming. The decorations were fit for a little princess...pink and white balloons, shiny streamers, and pictures of storks signifying the arrival of a little bitty baby. Everyone brought their favorite appetizer which gave the guests a smorgasbord of tasty delights. The cake was my favorite part, white with a raspberry jam center. Grandma Betty made the cutest party favors of jelly-bean fill tulle bundles.
We played the usual baby shower games, measuring my tummy, guessing the number of safety pins in a jar, and then there was this mind boggling game where one made a sentence that had only three word, with three specific letters. Some people gave some sage baby advice, but there were others (who shall remain unnamed - Grammas Juliet and Betty) who took the game straight to the gutter! Laughs were had by all as we read our sentences out loud.
After cake, it was time to open the presents, and what a pile of presents there was. Maya got everything ranging from cutie-pie shoes, sunglasses, pretty dresses, to a car seat, bedding for her crib, baby swing, and lots of bath time supplies. Brad and I are so lucky to be showered by the generosity of friends and family.
