Yay – what fun today for celebrating Norma’s baby shower. Kelly was kind enough to host the event at her house with lot’s of friends from work that came to have in on the fun. I was there in my role as official chauffeur and photographer (my usual duties) and as an unwilling guinea pig to act like the ‘donkey’ during the pin-the-tail on the donkey game.
But the surprise of the day came from Norma’s close friends from L.A., Liz and Becky, dropping in for a surprise visit at the baby shower! Just before that, Norma was dogging them out something fierce on the drive to the baby shower. Liz had called her and said she sent some flowers and needed directions for the florist to get to our house (this was a cover-up to get themselves directions since they just flew in..lol).
Of course I had no idea and when Becky and Liz couldn’t find our house in their rental car, they decided to sneak on over to Kelly’s house and show up as a total surprise. Needless to say, I hadn’t seen that many tears flowing so much since my days watching Amigas y Rivales on spanish television (Laura was a bee-otch and Angela was my favorite fyi).
After the waterworks, we got down to baby shower business and played some games with babyfood and puzzles. – Note to self – don’t let Kelly pick any puzzle games at parties, that baby word jumble was worse than the SATs! But then we opened some presents and all of them were very nice, most especially the clothes.
But seriously – thank you so much Kelly for organizing the event, thanks to all the friends that came and shared in the fun, and most of all – thank you Liz and Becky for your generosity with your surprise visit. It meant the world to Norma so it means the world to me.
