The Newell Family: Work Baby Shower

On Friday February 24th I got the surprise of my life. My coworkers planned a surprise Baby Shower with the help of my husband. Little did I know my coworker Colleen had been talking with my husband to arrange all the details. The shower was a Diapers and Wipe Theme held at Julio's Barrios Mexican Restaurant. Brandon made an excuse that he was going to be in Calgary on Friday and would pick me up after work. I thought it was a little strange since he had baseball practice, but was happy to take the ride home. Brandon picked me up from work about 4:45pm. As soon as I got in the car he made an excuse he had not had a chance to eat and was starving. Of course being pregnant I was happy to eat. So he said he had heard this Mexican restaurant was really good and we could try there. We parked the car and as we walked in Brandon walked right past the hostess. I told him we have to wait to be seated which he replied we already have a table. As we walked in he said I believe these people are waiting on you. I looked up to see all my coworkers sitting around a huge table. I was in such shock I did not know what to say. We sat down and they put sombrero's on us. There was a cake, a diaper cake, and lots of presents (which were all diaper and wipes!!).One of the funniest moments was a game they played. They pulled out three baby bottles filled with some beer and the goal was to see who could finish first. Brandon was one of the participants and of course won!! It was so funny and afterwards he said his jaw hurt so bad and he did not know how babies did it. Everyone was so sneaky and it was so much fun. We had a great meal and a lot of laughs. I truly have the best coworkers and was beyond touched.
