March Showers Bring April... Babies?

No? That's not how the saying goes?

Well... last night, I threw a shower for a friend of mine, Faye, who leaves shortly for China to bring home her beautiful little Gabriella. I am so excited for her. She received her referral in October and is finally getting to travel. "Abby" will join sister, Alex. We just adore Alex. She is such a sweetheart.

I made a version of P*anera's Asian Sesame Chicken Salad. I am not a fryer, and I fried the wontons in my wok. Oh my! I am so glad I did it Tuesday night. My house smelled horrible! Thankfully, it cleared up yesterday. Whew! I learned the key to frying: ventilation.

I think it's so funny that some of my friends call me "Martha." Yet, last night, I forgot to hand out the party gifts until most of the guests had already gone. Now, Martha wouldn't do a thing like that, would she? I think not! (Sorry, ladies!)

These are the most scrumptious cupcakes. C*old St*one Creamery just started making them recently and these are the Cake Batter Delux cupcakes. A chocolate cup filled with red velvet cake, fudge, cake batter ice cream and icing. Mmmmmmm..... And all calories removed, of course.

Alex, Mia & "Chopsticks" Leila

The great group of ladies....

After a very busy week at work and throwing the shower yesterday, I'm just kicking back and taking it easy today. The girls got dressed up in my clothes and jewelry this morning. While they are upstairs resting, I just took a look at the photos. They are hilarious and are my new favorites! I'll be posting them soon.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
