Madison Baby Shower

Rebecca and I started the day off by celebrating our upcoming birthdays. For the fifth year in a row, we treated ourselves to pedicures:


My Mom and Rebecca threw me and the baby a fantastic baby shower this weekend!

Scott and I love eating breakfast on the weekends at Lazy Jane's cafe. It was also the perfect venue for a shower. There was just the right amount of space and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Every detail turned out perfectly! Mom and Rebecca gathered all my favorite people and all of my favorite foods in one place. Food highlights included Craig's cake (same as our wedding), chocolates from Gail Ambrosia, and salads from Lazy Jane's.

Soon-to-be Grandma Jeanine signs in the guestbook.
