Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!  I can't believe next week is February - time really is flying by!  I'm ready for a weekend of crossing things off our very long to do list, hopefully a little walk, and of course, lots of treats {like the one above that C insisted we get yesterday - how could I say no?}.  Have a great one!

Friend Baby Shower

The week after my family baby shower my friends threw me a cozy and sweet shower at Erika's house.  I loved getting to catch up with some of my nearest and dearest friends who I rarely see, including Kelli who was able to make it all the way from Colorado!  We had yummy snacks and drinks, laughed a lot, and I was once again spoiled by these sweetest friends who were way too generous and thoughtful.  It meant so much that everyone took the time to celebrate us - especially right after a busy holiday season - and it was a day I didn’t want to end. One thing is for sure - this baby has a lot of wonderful aunties!! :)

Date Night {Delancey}

After a long Saturday of sitting in a classroom, we decided to head out for an early dinner date night at Delancey.  It's been awhile since we've been to this old favorite and on a chilly day nothing sounded better than some wood-fired pizza.  We split the Jersey salad, the white pie, and a half & half of sausage and bacon & onion, and while it hit the spot, I could tell with each bite that we were both wishing it was Bar Del Corso or Lupo, two of our newest fave pizza spots.  Delancey will always hold a special place in my heart {and is still one of the cutest little neighborhood spots around}, but I think next time we'll venture elsewhere for a yummy pizza date night.

Family Baby Shower

A few weeks back I was spoiled with such a thoughtful and fun family baby shower in the Valley. Gretchen, Mary, and Jill hosted a sweet Swedish themed shower for Baby and me full of Swedish fish, a Swedish baby quiz, and a gorgeous balloon arch decorating the room. I was surrounded by so many family members and family friends and it was so fun getting to catch up with everyone and be showered with all the necessities for baby. It was such a great day that made me feel so special and loved :)

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! For a short week it sure felt like it went on forever, and even though it’s been freezing I’m loving these beautiful sunset walks at the end of the day. I’m excited for a full weekend of baby prep and watching the Seahawks take the next step towards the Super Bowl - it’s going to be great!

New Years Eve

We had a pretty quiet New Years Eve at home, which is exactly how I like it. After running some errands during the day we went for a nice foggy walk to the park, then headed home to make one of my faves, Barefoot Contessa’s Weeknight Bolognese. After dinner we did a little bump photo shoot and watched some shows, then C went to bed early and I spent the rest of the evening catching up with my Housewives before watching about 10 seconds of the foggy fireworks from the Space Needle on tv. It was a lovely night in and a great way to start what I know will be an amazing year :)
