Celebrating the Parents-To-Be

Last weekend, Alicia, Anu, Nina and I were thrilled to host a baby shower for Sam and Susan, who are expecting TWIN girls in December.  Double happiness!  It was a celebratory event filled with family, friends, food and fun. We are all so happy for these soon-to-be-parents.



Sam and Susan (+ 2) 
What lucky girls these twins will be to have these two as their parents.

 




Food highlights included Nina's baked spinach dip, Charu & Anu's Indian pakoras,
Alicia & Felipe's Argentinian empanadas

 



Another culinary highlight was this beautiful (and delicious) strawberry cake that Nora baked and decorated



YAY TWINS!
You  know how I am about banners. It's just not a party without one.




Look at all the gifts for the wee ones!



Sam is enthusiastically embracing a future full of all-things-pink.




"wombmates" (ahem, pardon my moment of marketing...)
If you need  any handmade custom onesies, visit my etsy shop Sunday Rookery!
 These  Twin Wombmate Onesies  and Twin Dog Onesies are both available online.




Sweet Cooper tries out one of the baby gifts for quality assurance.
Clearly, it passed his test. Good work, Cooper!
