Baby Shower!

Oh my, once you have a baby shower, it makes you realize the baby is actually coming...and soon!
My grandma Marianne in Walnut Creek threw me a lovely shower on a rainy Sunday. It was a luncheon of yummy pasta, garlic bread, salad, and a big pink cake. I was very excited to have my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, friend Nichole, and Nana travel up from Southern California for the shower. So a group of my friends and family got to spend the afternoon watching me open LOADS of baby gifts, and let me tell you, this baby will be well dressed!
The centerpiece displayed my grandma's collection of bronzed baby shoes...she has her shoes, her children's and her grandchildren's first shoes. We will have to add to her collection!
Family friend Pam, grandma Marianne, and mother-in-law Linda

Nichole & I
My Nana and my Aunts (minus Aunt Janet, since she was off galavanting in Belgium!)
Nina, Irina and I
Victoria and my mom

The ladies lunching
I told you we spent all afternoon opening gifts!
An ode to gardening
Funny...but afraid it will be true!

Awww! Surprise gift from the Scripps girls! Loved the card!
And how appropriate...the Scrippsies gave me wine at my baby shower!
The whole group...thanks for everything!
