A Shower for Gina...

Auntie GiGi, you shouldn't have! The shower is for you, I'm not supposed to receive gifts. Thank you for my shabby chic baby couture and hair accessories.
Here, now you open a gift!
Auntie GiGi, Nana, me and Mommy
Grandma Deb is hoping the sassy nightie and soft baby blanket, get Gina and Mark in the mood to have their own little bundle of joy... she's so silly and knows how to get a good laugh out of the crowd!

I have had a FABULOUS weekend! I needed it, after coming off such a miserable week of fighting off the flu at our house... all three of us ended up with the bug at some point! It takes a lot out of a woman to be sick, take care of others who are sick, attempt to go to work and disinfect the house.

Friday evening, Amy and I went to a purse party. Kathy, who runs the daycare, hosted a "Mom's Night Out." We had food, drinks and shopped without kids, what more could we ask for! The two of us ended up taking advantage of our husbands being home with the kids and decided to kidnap another mommy, Sarah. The three of us went out to the Nickle Plate and just chatted like high school girls for several hours. We returned home rejuvenated women!!!

Saturday afternoon, we hosted a bridal shower for Gina. Gina and I have been friends since elementary school, and it was so much fun to have everyone visit our home in her honor. We don't get to see her a lot since she moved to Denver, but when we get together, it's like no time has passed at all. We shared a lot of old memories and stories with her new mother-in-law, Pat, and visited with family friends we haven't seen in years. We went out for Mexican and margaritas for dinner, came back home and sat around the fire pit for hours, just talking and laughing.

This morning, Pat, Gina, Addie and myself met Deb and Jimm at the Marriott for brunch. It was delicious and Addie had her "A Game" on for entertaining all of us as we enjoyed our breakfast. Our little piggy ate pears, bananas, blueberries, waffles and potatoes all on top of drinking her bottle. Oink, Oink!
