Presidents' Day Weekend

I absolutely LOVE and miss my college girlfriends.  Although we all went to college in San Antonio together, we have managed to end up in different cities all around the country including Denver, Minneapolis and Chicago.  We also have friends in Tennessee, Alabama and Maryland.  This past weekend, a big group of girls came into town for Ann's baby shower!  I was so excited to have Katie, Jen, Stacey and Amy stay with me.  Todd was such a good sport for putting up with a house full of estrogen.  It was the first time the girls met Ali, and she was a perfect angel all weekend.  She was happy to be passed around and let anyone hold her.  She actually got really spoiled from being held all weekend because her teachers said that she was unusually fussy on Monday unless she was being held.

We had a great weekend eating a lot of Mexican food, hanging out at my house, playing games, and enjoying margaritas on the patio at Chuy's!  I wasn't great at taking pictures, but we did manage to get a few from the weekend.

The main event of the weekend was Ann's Baby Shower on Sunday.  Emily hosted a wonderful shower with a tasty brunch and mimosas.  There were many babies at the party, and it was so good to meet some babies for the first time.  For those who don't have kids yet, I think it was a good dose of birth control.  Although all the kids were well-behaved, it was a little crazy to have 7 babies under one roof!  As usual, Ali was a dream baby.  She fell asleep for about 30 minutes on Miss Jay.  It was so sweet.  We tried to take a picture of all the mommies and babies in age order (middle picture in the top row), but we're missing Katie and her her three girls since she made the trip to Texas without babies.  With Ann's baby, we will be welcoming the 9th baby girl in our group of friends.  I seriously cannot believe we have ALL had girls.  Who's going to be the one to have the first boy?

I miss my girlfriends already, and I can't wait for our next reunion!
