Our "Bond" baby shower was a hit!!
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
We had our baby shower on Sat. night, and it was GREAT! Everyone dressed up is James Bond characters and they made every kind of Russian food imaginable! It was a couples shower, so the boys had a great time chugging beer from baby bottles! Our friends blessed us with so many gifts-it was just amazing. I will try to get my dh to help me post pics tonight. For anyone worried about having a shower before trip one, this is the way to go. It was not the typical "bottles and booties" shower...and yet it was a wonderful way to celebrate Russia and a child that we hope will be ours very soon! Amy

Looks like an awesome party!! I remember you posting about it a few weeks back and was curious as to how it went!
BTW-you have great friends. I'd request everyone to dress up, and they'd wear what they want to anyway!!

Everyone seems to be beeming with excitement for you. Thanks for posting pictures.....it is nice to see who I have been conversing with so much lately!!! It appears that you two had a great time....all smiles what a great way to celebrate your daughter coming home. I just knew IZ and GZ would be the place for you.

Glad you guys like the pics!
Katrina-when my friends told me this is what they were doing, I was skeptical whether people would dress up (some didn't) but many did! I didn't know who half the characters were, but it was funny anyway!! Debi-I know what you mean about knowing who you are talking to. Some time back there was a neat thread called "let's see YOUR faces" by Shay. It was awesome to see everyone!! Amy
