Amazing Baby Shower!!!!

On Saturday we had our first baby shower!!! It was hosted by Evangeline's fabulous Nana at her house in Houston. 36 of us celebrated Evie's upcoming arrival including her Grandma, Great Grannie, Aunts, and lots of friends!! It was a LOT of fun, possibly due to the flowing champagne :-) Evangeline decided not to play for the occasion which is not entirely unexpected given her performance at ultrasounds. She would not kick for anyone.
We received an insane amount of goodies including two wonderful homemade blankets (which I LOVE), enough clothes for Evie's first 9 months, her whirlpool spa bath and her super-duper Britax car seat. We feel very lucky indeed!
Auggie had his own boy party at our house which comprised of beer drinking, beer brewing, burger grilling and football. Our party was MUCH more fun. Here are some photo highlights . . .




Here's me with super Nana by the amazing food. I should add that while most of the food was catered by a British Catering company, some was cooked at the house. Nana used the oven. This is really quite a momentous event that will not be forgotten for a long time.


Evangline's Grandma and Granny came from Georgetown and San Angelo! They looked very lovely indeed and brought Evie lots and lots of exciting goodies!!
AMAZING cake made by my friend Melissa Rodriguez. It tasted even better than it looked.

Amazing Food! Yummy! Sausage rolls, cucumber sandwiches, coronation chicken, hula hoops etc etc :-) There were also cookies by Grandma and scones by the ever fantabulous Susanna.
Auntie Christine made this amazing nappy cake!! Most excitingly it was all held up by a tres yummy bottle of champagne. Erica came in from San Antonio. She is 16 weeks and has no bump. I'm jealous!! Fran is the third part of our singing group and it was fabulous to see these girls!!



It was a really really great time and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as Evangeline and I did!!
