A Weekend of Great

This weekend was jam packed with fun and adventure for Miss Mia. From a special party thrown in her honor, to dinner at the the oldtime pizza place with extended family, to a special snuggly time with daddy at church, it was a weekend to remember.

The party was a post-pregnancy baby shower thrown by my inlaws! It was so much fun. The party was held at the The Mona Lisa which is a fondue restaurant in Manitou Springs here in Colorado. The restaurant is in an old house, so every room is unique and different, making your time there never dull and boring. Mia was showered with many gifts, which mommy so generously opened for her.




From many handmade articles such as blankets, booties and sweaters...

...to an itty-bitty swim suit...







...and plenty of adorable outfits, Mia was litterally spoiled and she absolutely LOVED it! Mommy and Daddy even got a few gifts that included a few gift cards for date nights (WAHOO) and a few gift cards to go shopping!

That evening, my inlaws wanted to go out for pizza at the oldtime pizza place. This restaurant is a long time favorite of the Price-Gerster family and it is always a good time when we all gather around the table to chat it up. Mia decided that this was getting to be a little too long of a day, and though daddy was holding her tight, decided to through a fit the entire time. She was so exhausted/tired/cranky, but nothing would help until we got home.





Sunday was full of relaxation, naps, and chinese food. The perfect day before a new work week! Mia got in plenty of snuggling time with both mommy and daddy as we got ready to pass her onto someone else for the daytimes.



All in all, it was a wonderful weekend. Just what the doctor ordered!

How wonderful, what a lovely little party for Mia ~ it looks like she had some lovely presents!!

Hope that you have not found going back to work too hard. I work as a Childminder (in the UK), so I know what it is like when parents hand over their little ones for the first time ~ I am sure she will be very well looked after.

Hi Erin

I am so happy to read that you had such a beautiful weekend.

How very kind of your inlaws to throw such a party. It certainly does look like Mia received so many adorable gifts. How lovely to see that you and your hubby weren't forgotten either.

I've been thinking of you and wondering how you have been going given it is your first week back at work.

Love
Elise
