Leave it to the babies

Last weekend I was able to attend my boyfriend's niece and nephew(twins) baptism in NJ.   But before I even get to that I have to mention our NYC day!  We had a great time playing tourist around Times Square, in F.A.O. Schwartz and in Central Park.  I was surprised with a horse drawn carriage ride! How cool would that be for a wedding party, to arrive like that?! We had a picnic in the park and when crossing over one of the bridges we saw a small wedding taking place.   This was their backdrop:
 So cool!  I know :)

Now...back to those babies!   Sunday we spent most of the morning and early afternoon with the twins(5 months tomorrow!) and their huge loving family.  They did a wonderful job through the baptism, parading around the church and through the service!  I was a very proud...hmmm...I don't have a title..but I was proud of them!  After the service family and friends were invited back to the house for lunch.  My boyfriend's sister-in-law def has her act together! We had wrapped favors and silverware the night before...blue and pink ribbon of course!  She had prepped most of the food the day before including salad and fruit salad.  I can learn alot from this lady about party planning, she has mastered the to-do list and then some!


Talking about babies....I'm throwing a baby shower in a week!  I had originally planned and planned and planned...and then life got in the way.  Now we are down to a week before the shower.  Luckily for me, the boyfriend will be in town to help the day of...and super lucky for me the mom-to-be's mom is helping me throw the shower.  My job is to get the items like plates, napkins, cups, decorations, etc. before hand, as much as I can.  Then next Friday we will get the food and start prepping for a Saturday afternoon shower.  I can't tell you many details because I have a feeling the mom-to-be reads my blog.  She knows she is having a shower....and that's all we are letting her in on for now :)  Let's just say there will be fun!  More on this event NEXT Saturday :)
