Today, Stacy and I threw a shower for Lindsay and Michelle. I met Michelle through my husband Steve in 2003. Travis, Michelle's husband and Steve lived together in college and I have come to know Michelle and her two best friends Lindsay and Stacy. Ironic as it is, Michelle and Lindsay are due within weeks of each other and are both having boys. What a better way to celebrate then having a dual shower!
I had the pleasure of hosting with Stacy, so I knew everything would be perfect. Stacy is the walking caterer! When she arrived at my house at 9:30 a.m. this morning she said she only had a few things to bring inside. After several trips and three laundry baskets later we had all the food, decorations and flowers in the party room.
Hershey Kisses with "It's a Boy" on the tag. Flowers in a glass baby bottle.
Party Favors! Lip gloss and Hershey Kisses and Fruit Snacks for the Kids.
More Favors!
Baby Blue M&M's

I didn't get a picture but Stacy's mom made scotcharoos....OMG! They were delicious!
As everyone ate we watched a video of Travis and Brent. I interviewed them both and then put them through a baby obstacle course. Giving Olivia a bath and getting her ready for bed.

It was good to see Chris, Travis and Steve all together in the same house again! =) We all celebrated into the night with Travis, Michelle, Brent, Lindsay, Steve, Stacy, Michelle and Dusty. I just met them but the are a lovely couple. Dusty and Michelle are moving to Australia so Dusty can play professional basketball. How exciting! As always Travis and Steve stayed up until o'dark thirty. I think they finally went to bed at 3:30 a.m.! Ouch!
As all this was going on we learned around midnight that Miss Nebraska won the Miss USA pageant! She is the first contestant from Nebraska to win and the youngest at 17 years old! Pretty Cool! Congratulations to Teresa Scanlan! You can follow her blog at teresastravelsandtidbits.blogspot.com.
