Daniel and Meg's baby shower

My brother and his wife are expecting twin girls (Juliette and Penelope) in about 6 weeks.

We drove to Aberdeen, MD two weekends ago to attend their bumblebee baby shower.  We had a really good time and the dessert table was simply beautiful.

The girls loved sprawling out on the floor as the gifts were being opened.  They helped out a little by passing presents to Meg a few times. 

Speaking of presents.  I was totally stressed about what to get twins from the girls.  Our Babies-R-Us didn't have any of the SwaddleMe blankets that they registered for.  I was originally going to get them those from Sophia and Lilly because they are AWESOME, LIFE-SAVING, SLEEP INDUCING BLANKETS.  I loved all of mine.

So when we couldn't find those, we went the clothing route.   They each picked two outfits, well...let me rephrase that, Sophia picked and Lilly agreed, but we didn't have many options.  In my brain, there are 4 different ways you can dress twins. 
1)  identical
2)  same outfit, different colors
3)  coordinating outfits (different, but similar, like the Gymboree clothing lines)
4)  totally unmatching

I was going for option 2.  Same outfit in different colors.  It was really hard to find, but we found some pink and blue in two different outfits.

Will and I also went in on the baby monitors...which seem simply awesome because they have video...and since they cost a small fortune I hope they have WiFi too.

They certainly were showered with tons of things they need to have.  It was so fun watching them open their gifts and secretly reliving my own baby showers in my head.  How tiny everything is.  How precious.
