At work yesterday, the ladies surprised me with a mini lunchtime baby shower. It was very cute because they had all coordinated with Kris to figure out the best time, and then he had pretended we were supposed to go out on a networking lunch. But instead it was a little party with a cute diaper cake:
(which is great because it's all full of useful stuff as well as being cute--including the diapers of course)
Yummy food:
(this is Frito Pie. Has anybody out there ever had Frito Pie? We hadn't even heard of it until we moved out here. Essentially it's fritos, with beans and green or red chili sauce with meat poured on top. Then you add lettuce, cheese, tomatos, whatever you want. It's delicious and the ladies at the office make it taste irresistible.)
Chocolate cake:
(yes it's as yummy as it looks)
And good company.
Kris enjoyed himself.
And here's a picture of the group--minus one of our front desk ladies who was off industriously getting things done.
(I look humongous in this picture--not just girth wise, but height wise too! Don't look too close. I was tempted not to post it at all, but there you go.
Wasn't that the nicest surprise?
**Max made the observation while driving home with the diaper cake: "This cake is funny because you don't eat it, you put it on your kid's bottom." So apt. Then he immediately appropriated the Eeyore.

I want you to tell those girls how much I love them for taking care of you. I mean it. Tell them. It pretty much makes me feel like weeping, kiddo = how kind and how dear of them to do it. And such a cute idea. And I want some Frito pie. Right now would be nice. I'm a little tense about the next two weeks -
And your dad sends his love.
What a nice surprise. The frito pie sounds delectable. And Fritos are so much better tasting than just regular corn chips . I can't have Fritos in the cupboard because I just eat them up. Have loved them ever since I was a kid in the 1950s.
Love you
DAd
So sweet of them!
How have you never heard of frito pie? weirdo.
I LOVE FRITO PIES! Of course, I was born in New Mexico, so it's kind of in my blood.
Very fun shower. Love the diaper cake. Clever.
I think you look awesome in the picture. Really. Congratulations.
I love diaper cakes! I think they are the bees knees. Well done to who ever invented them.
And I'm sorry.... but I had to laugh at the cake! It's a donut! Ya know. The kind you sit on after you've had your baby....
I'm pathetic.........
Sweet ladies, great diaper cake, and different frito pie than in Texas. In Texas frito pie is layers of ftitos, chilli, cheese,and onions. It's to die for... but the New Mexico version sounds great too!
