November Showers...


Cupcakes - vanilla frosting w/ strawberry cake

Today one of my best friends, Jessica Steiner hosted a baby shower for me. The shower was a great time! For lunch Jess made vegetable skewers, Caesar salad in phyllo cups, chicken salad sandwiches, shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs, cheese ball & a veggie tray. Everything was delicious!

After lunch we played "Pregnancy Trivia" with a twist. Instead of us guessing the correct answers, we guessed what Dave thought the answers would be (Jess had Dave take the test days earlier). Let's just say it put a whole new spin on things - LOL! Shockingly, there was a three way tie between my sister Stacey & step-Mom, Tanya & Jessica's Mom, Chery for first place! Out of 16 questions, I only guessed 8 right! Oh well....it was fun!

Jessica definitely put a lot of thought into all the details. I about died when I found out she made just about everything from scratch (including personalized water bottles, brown/pink candy wrappers, & flower pen party favors). Jessica's new nickname is "junior Martha" after her idol Martha Stewart (and rightfully so)! She definitely deserves the title...haha!

Thank you to everyone for attending. I had a great time & it meant a lot you all could make it. Also, a very special thank you to Jess for hosting such a great shower...you're the best!!!
