These three mamas in our church are expecting within five weeks of each other!
Last Friday our church hosted a triple baby shower for these new little blessings and their families.

Our first game to play was a race to see whose baby could be dressed the fastest. Ten people seated to the right of each mother were given one piece of clothing to put on the baby, using only ONE hand. Once their piece was on they had to pass it to the next person. The first Mama to receive a fully dressed baby was the winner!

Will, Hope, Mr. and Mrs. Poole
Baby Hammond's grandmothers tie the ribbon on the bib - each using one hand

Emily and Brenna tie "Baby Farris'" bib
"Baby Hammond" is dressed!
Chris wraps up "Baby Farris"...
...and "Baby Farris" is finally dressed! It take longer to dress a girl!! :)
The Foot Game!
The children took off their shoes and lined up behind the curtain
to see if their mothers could recognize their feet!
David and Houston held up the curtain.
It was so funny to watch the mothers getting down to inspect their children's feet! :)

Cathi was in charge of the last game. The parents of the new babies were asked questions (mostly about their last baby) then had to write their answers on their white boards. If both mother and father got the same answer they got a point!
The Farrises won even though it has been 6 years since their last baby! :)

This game was a lot of fun to watch!
I think Ella looks a lot like her grandmother!

We are all so excited about these new little babies and can't wait to meet them!
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5
That looked like a lot of fun! There were some pretty neat game ideas!
