Baby Shower

This was the best Memorial Day weekend ever! On Sunday May 28th, my Mom and Regi (mother in law) hosted a baby shower for Matt, Lola and me! It was held at Basil T's in Toms River and it was wonderful. The favors were great, consisting of a small Chinese silk coin purse and a traditional red Chinese envelope (the kind used to give money, especially at Chinese New Year) with a crisp new one dollar bill and a sweet description of the tradition of the red envelope. Aunt Lily came up with the idea and helped out tremendously with those wonderful favors. So many people attended! The gifts were all so beautiful and thoughtful...the number of gifts was overwhelming. We especially treasure the hand made items like Aunt Karen's Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and Aunt Jennifer's precious La-La-La-Lola sweater and blankie. Leigh was a huge help with unwrapping gifts and making sure my wine glass remained full. I am thrilled that Lola will be surrounded by so many loving people in her life.
