baby shower...

i was very excited to throw my sister and j their baby shower...until i found out that i had to host 40 of their closest friends!! ummm ... standing room only? we put tables and chairs outside and s grilled some great chicken and tri tip. we also made 4 salads - fruit, pasta, mixed greens and a summer spinach salad. everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves! we had 2 poker tables set up inside so after lunch they played cards while the gals played the usual shower games. i don't believe in tormenting guys to play baby shower games. =) i got some amazing cupcakes from this caterer in the peninsula - they came out so adorable and yummy! i'll have to get a closer picture so you guys can see how nicely decorated they were!

did i mention that s and i will be hosting a second shower this weekend? another 25 people will be over this sunday for the family shower...
