Oh, Baby!

Last weekend, I hosted my little sister's baby shower at a lovely restaurant. I'm so excited that my sister is going to be having a baby in June - a baby girl! This means, of course, that I have already been buying lots of 'pink' stuff - you know, to get my fix!

We all had a lovely time - the food was amazing...







All our friends were there to celebrate with my sister...



And the favours were especially delicious!



The best part, of course, was having a memorable time with our wonderful grandmother who baked most of the yummy desserts there...



And of course, our awesome mom!





I brought my boys to the shower too - and they had a great time! Of course, I wasn't as relaxed as I could have been, but it was all good. I even had a chance to sit down and eat my lunch. That's rare, you know.







My sister had fun opening up all her beautiful presents, too. It's amazing how much one receives at a baby shower but the truth is - everything you get at your baby shower is actually used!







We had a blast playing a few baby shower games, and the biggest hit was the baby shower poem I stole from Pauline. Everyone loved it!



A huge thank you also to the talented Cherie-Lynn - she is the most amazing photographer and if I could afford to have her take pictures of me everyday, I would hire her! She is awesome! She recently took some new headshots of me, too - of course, I'll be sharing those with you as soon as I get them - I can't wait!
My sister's baby shower was a blast. Now, the countdown can begin until I get to hold her sweet baby in my arms!

Loukia, you are so sweet. thank you for nice things you said. It was my pleasure to be able to capture these memories for you. I enjoyed the container or goodies that your Grandma sent home with me as did Andy and the kids, thanks again.

Congrats to your sis on her upcoming baby (what's the correct word? upcoming sounds like a movie... impending sounds doomsday... pending sounds like an application... oh well)!! My wife's baby shower is this weekend. I hope she gets cupcakes too. And takes them home for me.
