Pat, Me and Mateo: Thanks for a great Baby Shower!

Thanks to Leticia my friend for organizing another baby shower last Saturday March 21st. We had a great time and 16 of my girlfriends came. Leticia cooked a tasty brunch and everyone seemed to enjoyed it.

As I promised to some of my girlfriends there wont be silly baby games and opening of presents in front of everyone (I think I actually promised it to myself first). The thing is that in Ecuador we do not have baby showers and we do not open presents in public like you do here in U.S. However, I LOVE the idea of a baby shower because friends give you gifts for the little one to come. Seems like everyone wants to pitch in!!

I was also glad to have many "hand me downs" items from many of my friends that have babies. As I said before, Pat and I believe that babies do not needs lot of fancy and expensive stuff. So, now we have more than we can ask for and I think we are almost ready with all we need! Yikes, did I say we are almost ready? I do not know....

Here are my girlfriends that came and that I am deeply thankful for their gift: Nilda, Julie, Yiman, Steph, Claire, Sarah, Carolyn, Lucy, Suzanne, Penny, Wendee, Patty, Kristina, Heidi, Valeria, Ellen and Leticia of course!

Anita, Ellen and Leticia
