The Backwards Bridal Shower!

The people on the Serve:Kenya team have some really wonderful friends! This week Allison received not one, not two, but three large boxes from her friends back home in North Carolina. It was a baby shower in a box! Okay, technically it was a baby shower in three boxes.

The men were all away in Nairobi this week, so Allison and I, along with our newest arrival Jessi, decided to have a baby shower! Allison's friends actually sent muffin mix and plates so we could do it up right. The theme of our evening was the "backwards baby shower," because everything was backwards. Most showers are thrown before the baby is born; this one happened afterward! Most shower guests bring gifts; we didn't have any! So we wore our clothes backwards and had a fun time laughing and opening up all the boxes. Seeing all the gifts laid out on the floor was truly an amazing sight!
