The Ohrvalls | The Life and Times of

I had the wonderful honor of being thrown a beautiful baby shower by my church family recently.  It was such a great way to share in the love and excitement of this little girl and I am eternally grateful to all of the girls that helped put it all together.  There were some great decorations, food and lots of fun games!  I had a wonderful time fellow shipping and got lots of cute gifts for baby Ohrvall.  Here are a few pictures from the shower. Some of the girls having fun playing a game where you had to draw a baby on a paper plate while it was on your head!  It was a little difficult and we had quite a few funny pictures! My homemade guestbook with advice from each guest on little onesies.  I absolutely loved this idea and the frame and advice is now hanging in baby girl's nursery.   Cutting the cake.   Another game where you had to try and get as many cotton balls into the small bowl as possible in just 3 scoops while blind folded. Funny stuff!

Shanghai was our last destination while we were in China.  We did a lot of walking around and exploring while we were in Shanghai, however we did not get as many pictures here as we could have.  Being as it was the end of our trip and we wanted to get as much in as possible, I didn't stop to enjoy the view and take a picture nearly as often as I had on the rest of the trip.  But, the pictures that we did get I will share with you here.  First of all the pictures from arriving in Shanghai and our walk to the "Bund".  The Bund is basically a walkway that follows a river and on the other side of the river is the business district with all the really cool buildings that you would see when you look up Shanghai on google.  So here are those set of pictures. This is the Hostel that we stayed in.  It was actually really nice and had great accommodations.  The restaurant that was in the hostel was also really great because they had traditionally american style food there!
