3rd Baby Shower with Baha'is
June 20, 2009 - Kamran and Perla Talebi's Residence
The Talebis hosted the baby shower for us, although Lani and Sherry were really the organizers of it all. It was one lovely event. We started by some friends reading a few prayers. Then they gave me the prayer for expectant mothers to read. Afterwards, there were several fun games. For one of them, everyone got pegs, and if you could make someone say the word "baby" out loud, he/she got your peg. Then we did a word scramble with Jayron's complete name. The challenge was to see who could come up with the highest number of words in 8 minutes. Guess who won!!:) Then we burst baloons and extracted little notes from them that asked each person to complete a certain baby rhyme. And finally, the grand game was the treasure hunt through the grounds of the Talebi residence that led us to the bed of a truck that had our crib gift! It was amazing and fun. In the last two pictures, you can see Aaron re-arranging the baby's room in order to accomodate the crib he just built. We had fun building it for 3.5 hours! Yep! Actually, Aaron just had me lay there and read the instructions while he did the actual engineering. It is a complex one that is able to change into a toddler bed and then a twin bed afterward as the baby grows bigger! We are so grateful to the Baha'i friends. Jayron is one lucky little boy!
The Diaper cake! With a monkey holding a banner that says "Jayron" and trying to mount the cake! That was soooo cute! Jennifer and her mom, Sherry, made it entirely out of diapers.
Lots of munchies. Hmmm...
You can see I had started collecting quite a few pegs and perching them on the sleeve of my dress.
Getting ready to begin
Little Naomi samples Jayron's blue swim cap! Doesn't it look cute on her?
Aaron and our ABM, Dan Reimer.
Looking for clues...
Everyone was excited and accompanied me.
Finally we find the treasure!
Lani, third from left, put together the treasure hunt guide. Good job, Lani!!:)
Some of our dear Marshallese Baha'i friends.
Dayna was having a good time!
:)
With Tuba and Amin
Sherry and her daughter made this ingenious diaper cake! Thanks, Sherry!
We love it!

The completed crib. After we put in the hamper and bottom drawers, it will be all done!!
