Last weekend my good friends from home- Courtney, Jaime and Tristi, threw me a wonderful baby shower! My friend, Colleen, from college drove up from St. Louis, which was a wonderful treat and she hung out at the crazy Bogdonas household. I was so grateful because so many friends from out of town were able to come, Marianne Neidhart, Anna Panagakis, and April Brabender! I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family! Everything about the day was perfect- the food, company, cute decorations and very thoughtful gifts for the little one!
Here are some pictures of the day:
Great Nona, Grandma and Aunts!
Waukegan Work Friends: Anna Panagakis and April Brabender (future babysitter!)
Aunt Lynn, Aunt Andrea and cousin Jenna
The wonderful hostesses! I am the last of us to have a baby!
Marianne Neidhart & Tristi (we have become friends through our crazy husbands)
The beautiful quilt that Great Nona and Grandma made! It is hanging over the rocking chair in the nursery.
The delicious food! My favorite salad that Jaime makes!
The party favors, which had to do with coffee (my favorite)! The coffee was delicious by the way.
The cute centerpieces- books and diaper cakes, etc. Of course, Jaime out did herself again! She is too creative, the next Martha Stewart, but better!
Delicious baby rattle fruit kebabs that Tristi and Karen Zbynski made!
Colleen & I
The best carrot cake ever!!! And Courtney even had the decorations look like the baby bedding we have!
Andrea & Felicity (Courtney's daughter). She was so good the entire time, you didn't even know she was there because she was so quiet. Courtney, by the way, such a stylish outfit!
This was our last trip to Rockford until after the baby is born! Next time we are there we will be bringing the new addition to our family! I can't wait! Now we are settling in and nesting for the month of March.
Great pics and a great time!
