Paul and Vickie's grandchildren are mostly girls. When I had Skye there were 13 grandkids but only 2 of those were boys. When Carolyn told us that she was expecting identical twin girls, Christy realized that the odds of having ID twin girls in our family was the same as having a boy! haha!
I still cannot believe that Carolyn had ID twin girls! So so crazy! What are the odds?!?! Jake and I looked at some numbers and we calculate that it is ~0.0009%!!!! I'm just glad someone else can use all the matching twin girl clothes I have clogging up our basement!
While we were in Utah the Glauser women planned a baby shower for Carolyn. I found this really cute peas in a pod art pack on Etsy that I used to make an invite:
Several of my nieces helped with the decorations. Amy made the cupcakes (look at those cute little edible peas!!!) Gwen put together the pea pod balloons. My SILs made the DELICIOUS food! And look at that amazing watermelon baby carriage that my mother in law made!!! I also thought that the pea pods on the table were such a great little touch from my MIL. I was excited when I found Doublemint gum to hand out!
Matt's family drove down from Ogden to join in the fun. My father in law watched the little girls in the basement during the shower. They came up at the end for food and fun.
We played a twin trivia game. 3 teams, each with a whiteboard. I would ask the question and then we would see who got it right. I hate bridal showers where they keep points and only some people get a little gift. So we just played for fun. The last question they each got a bag of letters and they had to unscramble Carolyn's secret baby names!

Such a fun baby shower! Thanks!
My goodness y'all stay busy!! Looks like you got to reconnect with some great friends - always the highlight of a trip!
I don't usually see the value in lots of decorations...but you have changed my mind. It all came together nicely--perhaps with the exception of the table cloth that gave us all a green glow. ;-)
Truly, working on decorating the shower with you prepped me for decorating Kassidy's open house and reception last week. It all seemed manageable.
