The best thing to say is that it was the perfect day! Laura hosted it and my Paula and Roger’s did their usual awesome food ideas. YUM! Laura made my favorite chicken salad of hers on crossaints. YUM again! The cake was fanstastic and turned out just like Jamie from Creme de la Creme described it. Jess and I found the perfect dress that coordinated to all the decorations. Laura has the cutest fortune cookies made that said, “The gift chosen by GOD above, 4 Mike & Lou a token of love **Nadia**” She made a little Chinese take out box for each guest with a truffel (from the Sweet Shop) and a fortune cookie in each. We just thought it was so sweet.
The cake was SOOOOOOOO cool. It looked like 2 presents stacked on top of each other and the tag said, “Our Precious Gift” then there were red and white baby blocks that said A B C and then one set spelled out NADIA. The cake “boxes” had black polka dots on them. Later this week I am going to get some photos posted on the blog.
It was such a blessing to have so many people that I love and care about there (I am sorry for those who were sick today – hope you feel better soon). Some drove some mightly distances to be here and I was really touched by that. I was completely entertained by the comments made on how people knew me or when they first met me. Some were funny and some were sweet, but all fun.
The gifts were wonderful and everyone was so thoughtful. I can’t wait to get all the stuff up into Nadia’s room this week and ready for her arrival! I could go on and on, but it’s enough to say that it was the best day and I will always remember it. Thanks to everyone and to those who couldn’t come who sent gifts for our sweet girl. It’s such a blessing from God to see so many people so excited about Nadia coming into our lives.
**And to Tahni, that painting with the Jer. 17: 7-8 Bible verse was the most wonderful thing of the day. Mike and I were so touched by your gift. It’s the sweetest thing and I can’t WAIT to hang it up in Nadia’s room.
