Yesterday, my bosses, Anne and Shelle, hosted an amazing shower in honor of Little Man Patrick's coming arrival!! I am going to risk sounding like a broken record because seriously - you guessed it - "we are so blessed." Being surrounded by such wonderful friends and coworkers is such a blessing and was especially so yesterday.
Anne and Shelle hosted the soiree and left out NO detail. The petit fours were perfectly decorated and delicious! The favors could not have been cuter and were such a yummy treat. The food was scrumptious and scored big time points with this preggers mommy to be...and my hubby too! (He lucked out and got to taste test some leftovers.) And of course the tablescape was beautiful - including orchids, one of my favs! Anne even had the most precious diaper cake made and it was a perfect addition to the living room decor. Really and truly...I got spoiled!
I am so thankful for the generosity that all of my/our friends have shown us during my pregnancy. It is such an exciting time to celebrate with those who are closest to you. Patrick Sr. and I are rich in our friends.
Here are a few candids from the afternoon...in reverse order! (Arg. I'll be glad when I install Windows Live Writer on the Mac...)
Can you say CUTIE PATOOTIE? Such one of my new favs of Patrick's growing apparel collection.
This is another favorite. Jeny gifted Patrick - Sr. - and me with our "anniversary" gift...as in our wedding gift from last year. Haha. It got lost in her closet and she just found it. LOVE HER...and our fabulous new gifty!
Close ups of some of our gifts...
Our loot! SO spoiled are we!!
Warren, me and Anne. Warren is currently campaigning for the baby's name to be changed to "Patrick Warren." It has a nice ring to it but somehow I think Patrick Sr. may not quite understand. :)

My tablescape! So pretty.
The cutest petit fours. Ever.
Cookie favors...be still my heart. Fortunately I have the leftovers frozen and am going to hand out at the hospital when the baby is born! Too cute.
