We had quite a nice shower in La Crosse over Father's Day weekend with Eric's side of the family! There was no shortage of bee theme decor and games! They had this incredible beehive cake that was quite possibly the best cake I've ever had! They also made me "Queen Bee" for the day and I got to wear this lovely bee antenna headband. CLEVER!
Here is a closeup of the cake. I just could not get enough!!
I also just had to snap a pic of the most flawless symmetrical cheese and sausage platter I've ever seen. Those Wisconsinites know how to do a cheese platter!!
Next we played games, my favorite of which was one where they had the male shower attendees line up on the couch. Amy and Julie proceeded to hand out baby bottles filled with beer and the first guy to finish his bottle won! It took longer than you would think, and it wasn't until Eric's uncle Randy outsmarted the system that we had ourselves a winner. I have to say it was pretty good entertainment for the ladies - watching these grown men with foaming up beer and having them wipe their chins with the beer running down. Lots of belly laughs! Here is a short clip after the screaming and laughing had died down...
And no shower update is complete without a photo of us opening a gift. This one was from Aunt Amy and Uncle Dan, who we asked at the end of the shower to be the godparents of our little baby girl. They happily accepted and it didn't even take Dan 10 minutes to start quoting (with a pretty good impression I might add) lines from the Godfather. What an awesome weekend with family!
