Surprise Shower for Adeline

Adeline's Surprise Shower - May 30, 09

Adeline is a great friend of many of us the Africans and she's having a baby boy, Yumbi, in mid June. The party was fun. And she was surprised; she had no clue, and that was a real treat. She was so happy too. The turnout was just great, and we ate, danced, ate, and danced some more, talked, opened gifts, and watched Nigerian movies until 3am, although we'd started at 6pm the previous evening. That's the African way!

To make the weekend even more special, Aaron's good friend, Wilson, his wife Harriet and their two little daughters came to visit for the weekend. So, it was one busy and fun weekend.

Adeline walks into "Surprise" and is still looking baffled in the first few pictures.

Everyone's trying to capture her surprised face.

Then we get ready to eat

We all tease Adeline that her baby, Yumbi, will be born while she is dancing. She loves to dance.

Gifts time. This is after Adeline has made a speech and told us about the baby and the guests have all offered comments and advice and encouragement.
