The Baby Shower

So, my daughter's baby shower was yesterday, I said before that to me a baby shower equals great food, he, he, he. Yesterday's menu did not disappoint either. Pozole, rice, re fried beans, enchiladas, and beef. The chips and salsa and plenty of drinks too. (No,no booze) it's a baby shower after all.

My daughter is a member of a website called "The Knot" many of her friends came over plus of course a lot of family members came too. We already know that she is having a little girl, and trust me after last night this little girl will not be needed clothes for like the next year or two. Boy did she receive presents.


As you can see, the chips and salad bar was a popular stop

As most of you may already know, the new baby will be grand baby number seven for "mi chica" and I. What a joy and what a gift to see all of my grand kids running around the house, they love coming over and for us it's such a treat to have them. I just don't see my life without any of them.

No matter how you slice it, if you can't count on family and friends, who can you count on? The atmosphere thought the day was one of happiness and joy. I am an expert at guessing the size of the belly and yesterday was no different, I took my guess and won... well that was before "mi chica" disqualified me, something to do with you can't compete because you always win. Ummmm!


You ask how do I win so much, simple I either use the following equation:
Or the more simple approach of using your own belly. OK, actually the second is the one I use time and time again and I just keep winning.

So all in all, a great time was had by all. A big thanks to "mi chica" who did all of the cooking. The food was absolutely delicious and I think it's safe to say we all gained a pound or two by the end of the day. But the biggest winner is the coming baby, she received more clothes than she'll be able to wear in a year.
