Greta's 2nd Baby Shower

One of my best friends, Maggie - hosted a second baby shower for Greta on February 12th. It was held downtown at Le Cafe de Paris, a lovely French Bistro, known for its irresistibly tasty treats.

Maggie put so much thought into every detail. I love the colors and designs she chose. It was a beautiful, fun-filled, and delicious baby shower/brunch! She had great games and prizes for guests, and scrumptious chocolates for each of us to take home and enjoy.

Ten of us gathered, total. It was a perfectly-sized group. We were able to visit and enjoy each others company over a delightful French brunch served with fresh croissants and coffee. (I wish I'd snapped a photo of the brunch menu and the food itself - it was all just perfect!) Just so I'll always remember, I ordered the Quiche De Jour (featuring shrimp, Havarti, artichoke hearts, and herbs) along with fresh berry compote and a decaffeinated latte.

I regret not taking more photos overall - and the ones I did take were very candid, so they're not the best pictures of my lovely friends. Here are dear friends, Sasha & Lisa. (I meant to get a nice group shot, but we became too busy chatting and having fun & I forgot to take more pictures).

(I missed getting pictures of Hailey and Cara, who arrived shortly after I'd snapped these photos). Below is special guest, Kate's new baby Conor, just six weeks old here. Such a beautiful baby boy!

Greta received so many precious things -- again!

This is going to be such fun, dressing Greta in adorable hats, headbands, hair ribbons, tights, dresses, snuggly pajamas, cute shoes, etc....

Again, I'm overwhelmed and amazed by how gracious and giving our family & friends are - helping to make welcoming our baby girl all the more special! Thank you all so very much! ♥

Maggie ~ I cannot thank you enough for such an elegant and delightful baby shower for sweet baby Greta! You are such an incredible friend; I love you! ♥
