Ladies Brunch and baby shower 2016

My ladies brunch this year was a combo together with a baby shower for Polina. We had all the usual attendees along with a couple of special guests who had not attended before, Kristin and Kathy, along with Kathy’s little girl Genevieve.

We all made little birdhouses and decorated them with Christmas greenery and sparkles.

Then Polina opened her presents and we all had cake! It was a great party and Polina got so many nice things for the baby.

I only wish her mom could have attended. I would have loved to have her here with us.
 This cake was from Nothing Bundt Cakes and I added the flowers and ribbons myself. It was delicious!



 Here is Polina, myself, Chelsie, and Kristin with our little houses in front of the Christmas tree right before Kristin had to take off to catch her plane. She was only down for the day but we are all so happy she was able to come.
Grandma Gibbons and Lainey sat near each other and I love this picture of the two of them! My Ladies Brunch is really the only time I can think of where I can get all  the lovely women in the family together in one room.

I’m really happy that I have managed to keep up this tradition. I hope to be able to do this for many more years to come.
