Skeletor Baby Shower
Our friends Dale and Mary Frances Russell are expecting a baby this spring, so we threw them a baby shower today. At their anatomy ultrasound visit, the tech kept calling the baby “Skeletor”, and the nickname has stuck. So we planned the theme for the party around that name; incidentally, it was pretty much a Halloween themed baby shower. :) I made the food while our good friend Margaret planned the games and made the cake & favors. (thank the Lord, game-planning is not one of my strengths) Thanks to her creativity, we ended up with a daddy-long-leg (for the dad) and “Mummy” (for the mom) theme for the food. Cute! Here are the results.
- Daddy Long Leg Avocado Sandwiches
- Mummy hot dogs with cheese
- Mummy pizzas
- Green punch
- Margaret’s cake…she hand drew that skeleton! Wow.
- Margaret’s amazing masterpiece, the Skeletor Candy Land
- Skeletor game pieces for the Candy-Land board
- Don’t land on the black holes.
- Playing Skeletor Candy Land; the mom-to-be is in white with boots.
