Baby Shower for The Noodle

This afternoon, Mel hosted a baby shower for our friend Sara. I went over to Tan's place before the shower to scrapbook but we ended up mostly chatting instead of getting any scrapbooking done. We headed to NE Portland to Mel's place for the event around 2:30pm and after some rather haphazard driving through Mel's neighborhood we arrived. (Thanks for navigating, Tan.)

Mel decorated her place with pink helium-filled balloons (my favorite!) that floated along the ceiling. There was a spread of tasty vittles for her guests, including these great sesame crackers I'll have to get the name of and some perfectly luscious strawberries. The cake, I think it was called Seventh Heaven, came from JaCiva's and was super tasty. We sat outside on Mel's patio, it was a gorgeous day, and chatted with mom-to-be Sara while she opened her gifts. It should be noted that Sara's shirt said "Goddess with a Bump". Perfect, eh? The Noodle got a number of super cute clothes, a bib, a diaper bag, some toys - ducks seemed to be a major theme, no surprise there as the Noodle's parents are huge Duck fans - a blanket, a cool hat from Africa, and books. After opening a Dr. Seuss classic, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Sara indulged her friends with an impromptu reading.

I finally got the pics up on our web site so now anyone interested can click here to view them.
