Showering Sandy

On Saturday we held a baby shower for Sandy! It was so fun to spoil her and celebrate the upcoming arrival of baby Benjamin. The weather was absolutely perfect and the company was even better.  She and Thierry chose a blue, green, and gray nautical theme for the nursery so we carried that through to the shower. They received a wonderful assortment of fun, practical, and adorable gifts! For anyone out there who thinks that there are not as many cute boy clothes out there, I promise you, you are wrong! Poor Gabriella may end up getting dressed up in little boy anchor overalls to match Benjamin because they are just that cute :)

Sandy looks absolutely amazing and we are all anxious to meet little Ben. Having a boy and girl in the family who are just a few months apart is going to be so fun! I am already thinking ahead to Christmas, beach trips, and everything in between. I also figure that I have about 3 years to buy them coordinating outfits before one of them throws a tantrum, so believe me, these poor kids are going to be coordinating whenever possible!!

Gabriella had the perfect sailor dress for the occasion, but unfortunately most of you never saw it on her. She has entered the phase of everything in her mouth which often leads to her gagging herself and then spitting up so the cute dress was sadly in the laundry before the party started. I think she had 3 outfit changes throughout the day, apparently she didn't get the memo that hosting a shower is not the same as hosting a celebrity awards show... costume changes are not necessary :)

Sick of the photo session...

Sandy and Thierry, we are thrilled for you and can't not wait to spoil your little man!!  We love you and know you are going to be amazing parents!!
