The baby shower today was so fun celebrating with so many friends who love Courtney!
Michael came too which was great since he hadn't met many of our long-time friends yet.
We had a packed kitchen and family room, lively with conversation and joyful reunions--
renewing connections and catching up with old friends.
The food was delicious (if I do say so myself)!
Italian pasta salad, green salad with pears, a huge fruit tray (thanks Rhonda & Courtney K.),
ham & cheese croissants from Beaumont/Beaucoup Bakery,
pastel macarons from Munchy Macarons (delivered!), and s'mores brownies (thanks Ashlyn).
Plus hershey's kisses and strawberry kisses for a cute pink accent
and our party favor of strawberry altoids or pink strawberry Extra gum.
(More details shared in yesterday's post.)
Funny story: The ham & cheese croissants were huge.
When I ordered, I'd asked the order taker if they were big enough to share.
She wasn't sure. Said they were about 4". Well, they were huge.
We cut them in half, they were delicious, and we had lots of takers happy to take some home.
Courtney and Michael and Baby Girl P were showered with gifts--
everything baby is soooo cute!
We started at 11:30, most people went home around 2:00,
giving us one-on-one time with Courtney, Rhonda, Lizzie, Marge, me and Michael
and to sit around the kitchen table reveling in the fun and eating seconds!
Such a wonderful day!
