Another baby shower. done.

It was all girls baby shower, so I took Chloe with me.

She loves to read books as you can see.

I had the joy of meeting Amy and Terrence’s new baby, Andrew. How precious…

I found my wedding gifts to them on the walls of their new fancy brooklyn apartment.

Congratulations, Jenn and Rich!

My badge. I had it on me all day. Oh yeah.

My cousin whom I haven’t seen in twenty years took me out for a lovely dinner. It was sooooo great to reconnect with her and share our past memories and current lives…

And we pre-celebrated my birthday. 🙂

I finally painted the chalkboard in the kitchen. Chloe loves it. When it’s cold out, I tend to take on more projects at home. What’s next?

Christmas eve…

milk and cookie for Santa

at 5 a.m. this morning,
Chloe: Mommy, can I go downstairs?
Me: No.
Chloe: Daddy, can I go downstairs?
Andrew: No.

at 6 a.m.
Chloe: Can I go down stairs now?
Me: No, honey. Let’s wait until Shane wakes up, okay?
Chloe: but Mommy, I really want to go see downstairs!
Me: Go ask Daddy.
Chloe: (walks over to Andrew) Daddy, can I go downstairs?
Andrew: No. Go back to sleep.

at 7 a.m.
Chloe: NOW, can I go down stairs??
Me: Oh… okay. Let me get my camera.
Chloe: OKAY, MOMMY!

Shane woke up extra late this morning (7:45!) He’s such a kidder. He’s doing, ‘I pretend I don’t care’ face.

This was the best laugh. I’m sorry I missed it!

Andrew got  fancy boots.

They are experts at making a mass.

I got a jewelry stand!

Merry Christmas, everyone….

My friends and I planned a shower for my another pregnant friend. This is the last of my party planning this year. Phew, I'm tired…

Chloe got a lot of love from my friends.

She designed an onesie for Amy and signed it too.

Congratulations, Amy & Terrence!

The birthday girl is here!

We rented out a space from our church building for the party.

Before the cakes arrived,

Ta da~! 
I ordered the cupcakes, cookies and the birthday cake from A Lili' Tasted of Heaven and she did a wonderful job. I gave her pictures and drawings of what I want and she did just that and more!

My little girl turns four today!

I made 15 of these tissue paper flowers for Chloe's birthday party. It's going to be pink…very pink.

My friends and I planned a surprise baby shower for a very special friend today.

She had no idea!

What a marvelous afternoon spent with amazing women. I'm so blessed to know you guys…
