What a truly awesome weekend.On Friday a fun-packed Christmas party where I managed an hour straight of dancing in heels while others around me discarded theirs. Me = hardcore.
Yesterday Ben and I decorated the tree and hung our stockings before enjoying a bit of a treat with a curry from the local takeaway and a mince pie or two, soaking up the loveliness of our last few weeks as a family of two.
Then today, a gathering of very cool ladies popped round for for my baby shower. Cakes were baked, banners made and a little 'design your own babygro' basket set up. Below are just two of the very clever finished articles courtesy of my mum and sister. Thank you gals for such a fun afternoon and for such beautiful presents. Crochet rabbits, teeny socks, homemade goodies, books made by and read my Dad when he was a kiddo and some hand cream for Mama. Feel the love.
How utterly lovely Nell. Loving the baby gros and the decorations. We're having a Christmassy day tomorrow, decorating Baby B's first tree and enjoying J's day off. Happy maternity and let's schedule another festive hot chocolate before Christmas x
ReplyDeleteSounds so sweet, and these photos are great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gathering, Nell. I could fall into that sweets table and not be seen for days!! x
ReplyDeleteLook at that spread! The presents are lovely, and far more lasting, and all that, but as I'm still going on my detox, the baked goods are far more appealing. My mouth is watering, in fact. And speaking of hardcore, guess what, I lost my voice from partying too hard Sat night. Yessiree. And you're on maternity leave! It's funny how changes make you emotional, hope you enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had such a lovely day Nell. The clothes, the books, the bunny. All unreal BUT that tasty looking smorgasbord is out of this world. I know where I'd be lurking throughout the party. We're throwing our first ever Xmas party this weekend (eek) and I need all the inspiration (and help) I can get!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your first week off work. xx
That knitted bunny is so cute... and yum to all the cakes for your baby shower! Love the 'me = hardcore' ;)
