Tori's good friend Teri (who's like a sister) wanted to give Tori a baby shower and, since Tori is in England, the only way to do it was via Skype and our webcams. It turned out really nice. So many of our friends joined us and it was wonderful for Tori to get to see them as well as for them to get to see her. We had lots of goodies to eat - quiche, muffins, fruit pizza, wrapped sausages, cookies, mocha punch, coffee and juice. We also made sure that Tori had something as well by having Greg sneak around and get a cake for her too. They don't do baby showers in England so he couldn't find a 'baby shower cake'. But he got a 'Black Forest Cake' and surprised her with that. She also had some grapes, candies, and brownies (that she made!) After we had refreshments, we played a game called "I Haven't Done This". Everyone gets out their loose change. Then someone makes a statement like "I've never ridden on a subway". Teri had a piggy bank that she passed around, and if you HAD done that thing, you got to put a coin in the bank (for the guest of honor!). Tori got to make her own statement every fourth turn, so she joined us in that way. We kept turning the laptop around so that she could see everyone at some point in the game! Then we had a special prayer of blessing for Tori and Greg and their new baby. Last we opened the present that people had brought. I got to open the presents for Tori, sitting in front of the laptop, and showed each one to her! It was a fun time for all and hopefully Tori and Greg felt honored and loved by all.

Please leave a comment and let us know that you got to see them!
