The Perfect Day

Today I had my first baby shower, a luncheon thrown by Mona Godderis, a lifetime family friend who has know me since the day I was born. 

• The setting was breathtaking...The Georgian Room at the Olympic Hotel
• The food was a work of art...lobster cakes, finger sandwiches with flare, everything had the perfect touch of elegance
• The gifts...the most thoughtful and heartfelt I could ever imagine
• The company...six amazing woman who are very important in my life

But, the best part was a surprise, the best gift of all--my Mom.

All the way from Arizona to be here for my special day. 
 I was speechless, shed tears and was oh so happy to have her here.



The setting for the perfect day.

The very special ladies: My Mom, Gretchen, Mona, Sylvia, Bunny and Julaine.
 I'm so lucky and feel so honored to have such wonderful people in my life and I can't wait for little baby Skurski to meet them all. 



The Hostess who orchestrated the perfect day. 

 Baby Skurski is blessed with a baptism bracelet, the most adorable little outfits straight from France (très chic!) and a very special doll I longed to have when I was three that my little girl will now have as a favorite friend.



Everything is "just ducky!" 
An adorable assortment of ducks for my little one from Aunt Julaine--from outfits to bath time and snuggly  friends.



Baby Skurski will be so happy looking at the beautiful hand-painted pink roses for her room  from "Grandma Gret" who's craft and artistic ability are truly breathtaking.



The "Pack N' Play" from Bunny--
can't wait for Baby Skurski to arrive so she can use this fabulous invention. 



A Christmas Baby needs a Christmas stocking. 
Baby S now has the most beautiful hand-made one I've ever seen. 
 I have a feeling Santa will be good to her this year!



The perfect ending to the perfect day. 
A sincere thank you to everyone for making this day so memorable.  I am overwhelmed with the love and generosity shown to me and my little one to be.  I can't wait for her to meet all of the wonderful women in my life who have already shown her so much love.
