I had the opportunity to pull of a SURPRISE baby shower for my friend Rebekah. I told her that I just needed some girl time, and I scheduled a dinner at Buzios -- right next to both of our houses. But the other gals knew it was more than girl time. It was Rebekah time.
I continue to find baby showers a very sensitive thing. I recognize that for those who aren't married or who do not have children, they can cause pain. So I am always very sensitive when throwing or participating in them. We keep things very low-key baby-wise. I managed to get some old friends of Rebekah from Florida to write her some notes, and gave out some blue Christmas ornaments. We had a wonderful time!
P.S. A huge thank you to my mother-in-law for making such an awesome gluten-free cake!

So thankful to have this lady in my backyard.

Only on our island ... because there were only four baby shower cards to choose from, Hannah decided that the risk of a double was too great. She instead went for a Christmas card and just edited it! Love it!
