Baby Shower

This week I co-hosted a baby shower for my beautiful assistant Emma. She is due to welcome baby Xavier into the world in a few weeks and is finishing up work.

We had the shower in the conference room in my office.

Our local bakearella Annette made these cute cupcakes. That icing was very blue!

Whoever invented chocolate spiders was a genius! A little weird and warped, but a genius!

I did a tray of lunch meats and a tray of vegetable crudites with a dip. I also made a sweet dip to go with the fruit plate prepared by another girl.

I also did the table and the decorations. I think it all looked lovely! There is only so much you can do with a boring conference room in a law office.

Here I am with Emma. This is truly an awful picture of me, but this blog is all about the honesty...

Here is Emma with my co-host Cara.

We all had a lovely time at the shower and Emma was blown away by our efforts. We also gave her a very special gift - a voucher for a session of newborn photos with the photographer who took her wedding pictures! She was so excited! It is so much more special than clothes or nursery bits and pieces.

I will be very sad to see Emma leave work, but I cannot wait to meet baby Xavier!
