Baby Shower!

What a fun Baby Shower we had last Saturday!! So many people came. Although many couldn't make it, most people did, including our friends from LA!! Inez, Eric and Nico-pasarbaru came!! Awesome!

We had lots of fun games, and great food! Hendra and I received a lot of gifts, which sorry to say, until this minute they are still wrapped nicely in The Longbotham's residence. Hwahwhahwa ... its that much fun we had without opening presents!!


We started around 3pm with fellowship. We sang some praises, prayed and had sharing time. We got some questions from Om & the singles, and valuable advices from the mothers =). Then Om shared a great story about King Robert the Bruce! We never heard about it before. It's so cool! We're loving the name Bruce more and more ^_^


Then the games!! Oh, so much fun!! Thanks to Tante Hannah & Tante Mei Mei !! There were..... FIVE games! Ndak berasa .... its that much fun. First, there's a list of questions for Hendra regarding this baby pregnancy thing
, then he was asked to sing and dance. hwehwehwe ... Second, I had to guess who's holding a baby doll while it's being passed around and my eyes were covered. I got it right the second time!! woohooo.... !! Then we each got a shirt! Made by Tante Hannah and Tabitha. So cool.

Third game, Tante Hannah printed out a nice Noah's Ark picture and alphabet letters. Everybody must write as many animals as possible starting from A to Z. It's so haaaarddd... I did it in Indonesian, still so haaarddd... every animals I could think of starts with K!! Kucing, Kuda, Kelinci, Kerbau, Kadal, Kalajengking, Koala, Keong, Kera, Kepiting, Kijang, Kerang, Kumbang, Kutu, Kura-kura ......... haiz ... I even put Nil for N, where its supposed to be K juga!! KudaNil!!
I failed. Monica won this game!! Yay good job!!

Next one, everybody was put in pair, and Tante Hannah gave out a really good quality paper for everybody to DRAW their partner when they were a baby! Hihihi there were sooo many funny drawings. Never thought our church members are great artists! haha ... the winner was Tante Titien. She made a funny picture of Om Ronnie. Congrats Tante!!


Fifth game, we are all divided by two groups. We played 'passing the pacifier'. We have to pass the pacifier using a pen in our mouth. It's not as easy as I thought. This was the funniest game, we couldn't stop laughing. If we drop the pacifier, we had to start over. We probably dropped it more than 5 times. Hahaha .... will show pics of this !! Eric and Didik took a lot of pics, can't wait to see them!!


Last one (lho ada Six games??) : guess my waist line. Everybody must cut a rope to guess how long my waist line is. Nico just measured his own waist line, and cut the rope, and WON! Hwahwhahwahwha ... congrats Nic!!


Then we had dinner. Food was plennntifulll and so gooooddd. ... thanks to Mami Elizabeth!! All delicious Indonesian food. Here's some food-pictures taken by my sis, Petra :



There were a lot more! Tons of Fruits, Nuts, Fruity Drinks, Cemilan, Bubur Kacang Ijo, etc etc.... Banyak dah!! My tummy was so tight but I kept eating!! hahaha ...

Around 5:30pm, some people left, more people come. Hihi... Friends of Mami Liz were starting to come around this time. Still plenty of food. The party kept going on!! We had dinner, conversations, and ... Karaoke! Singing nonstop from 6pm to midnight!! Wheheheh ... everybody had a great time.


Hendra and I are so happy and feel so loved. We had such a great time with everybody and are very touched by the kindness and attention given to us, especially for Bruce! He's not even born yet but so many people love him already. Hik hik ... *terharu.

And thank you so much for your generosity.
May God bless you all exceedingly !!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
=)
