Baby Shower - November 15th

My mom and mother in law threw me a wonderful baby shower brunch on November 15th.  We had a great time, and we were able to get so many nice little things for Matteo. I was truly amazed by the generosity of our family and friends!  My mom & sister helped to plan the details of the shower - they were truly amazing in making everything look so cute and adorable. Here is the cake and the invitations:







So many friends and family pitched in that day.  Kate baked up a storm - and made the most amazing blueberry coffee cake - I'm still thinking about it! Her mom also made some delish lemon & cherry tarts..yum!  Monique and Emily also helped baked some wonderful treats and made the most beautiful centrepieces. My sister in laws, Jenny and Melanie, also baked some wonderful treats. And my Nonna's baked some traditional Italian biscotti.  My cousin Lauren helped with making the favours, and said grace that day, and my cousin Erica helped to set up and get us organized!  My Aunt Jen and Aunt Sandy were also a huge help that day with setting up and taking down.  I am so lucky to have so many wonderful women in my life!

It was such a wonderful day, and I am so blessed to have so many loving people in my life!  Thank you to everyone who helped that day, and to all of the women that came to help me celebrate little Matteo, who is on the way!
