Work Baby Showers

On Friday (Jan. 16th) both Tim and I had baby showers at work. My co-worker Teresa and the women that work during Early Voting threw one for me, and Tim's co-workers had a surprise shower for him. Mine was wonderful, with lots of good food and great gifts for Laurel! Most of the offices from the courthouse were able to come, plus most of the election commissioners. Here's a picture of me with my hostesses.

Tim's boss called me about two weeks before his shower to find out if I could come. Unfortunately, it was planned for the same day as mine, so I had to pass, but I promised her that I wouldn't breath a word of it to Tim. Friday morning Tim kept calling me to tell me that there was something suspicious going on at the health department. He had been kicked out of the kitchen, and he knew that something was up because he's usually the one who coordinates parties and lunches at his work. A little while later he told me that he thought they were throwing him a surprise baby shower. I still played dumb and told him to keep me updated. Within an hour he called me back and when I answered the phone he screamed, "You knew!" I admitted that I had known for about a week, which absolutely drove him nuts. He hates not being in on things.

Here's a picture of the beautiful cake they made for him and a picture of him opening his table-full of presents. For some reason, I can't see him ohhing and ahhing over all of his presents the way I did!


And here's a picture of what happens when men are on their own to buy and wrap presents for another man's baby shower!


Friday night we brought everything home and had so much fun reopening all the gifts to show each other what Laurel had received. We are both very lucky to have such caring and generous co-workers!
