The Perfect Kind of Party

I am lucky to have friends that love me, and totally understand me.  I am not fussy, or fancy- I like the simple things in life; good food, good conversation, and every now and then, an afternoon of being totally and utterly spoiled!

This past weekend, my dear friends Elizabeth and Sarah threw me a baby shower.  First of all- how sweet and unexpected!  Traditionally, most women only get showers for their first baby, and given the fact that this is my second baby in two years, I would have totally understood if there were no showers to be had.

Because let's face it- I have all the baby stuff I could ever need, and then some!  But that is not the only point of a shower, as was proven this weekend.  Yes- I was showered with adorable gifts, and (best of all) some gifts for spoiling mama (babysitting hours, magazines, dvd's and gift certificates for my favorite bakery and nail salon- wahoo!)-but more importantly, I was showered with love.

My friends came together and celebrated me and my growing family for an afternoon- and there was great conversation, and amazing food- and honestly, it was perfection (my mom even flew in for the event, and is staying for the week- bonus!).  I looked around the room at one point and realized that for having lived in Providence for only four years, I have found an amazing group of women that I am lucky to call my friends.
