Sorry for the late post! I swear I loaded all of these photos a few days back but as we explain to others that we know - this house now runs on NORY TIME! Interrupted blogging is as common as the quarter-tea's I've started to drink and the cold dinners we've begun to enjoy ;) In fact, in this very moment Nory's opening her eyes and letting out little grunts - both of which are an indication that the clock is ticking and I may just have to press pause here. Let's make short work!
Okay - last Saturday some AMAZING women hosted a baby shower for Eleanor and I. I realize most people do this whole shower thing BEFORE baby arrives, but my superstitions insisted that it should only happen once our gal was here to join us. Doesn't this make for a more adorable shower anyhow? ;)
Here are some pictures of this memorable and extremely special event:
 |
| The theme of the shower: Apple of Our Eye!!! It's a great idea for a baby shower but the even greater part is that Emily, Phil and I have this on-going inside joke about apples. The three of us believe that NOBODY eats them.....except for when I got pregnant and they became a favourite snack of mine! |
 |
| Thank you gifts - not prepared by ME (they thought of EVERYTHING)! How sweet of them to create such a charming take-away! I'm telling you things were planned with the utmost detail in mind! They must be teachers..... |

I've never actually used a hash-tag before but I have always wanted to!!! These sweet things scattered the tables on the day of the shower and have scattered the floors of the apartment ever since. It's nice to find them around the house - they make me smile as I remember the day! |
 |
| Kuwait knows how to do cupcakes. FOR REAL. These were ordered through social media and delivered to the flat the day of the party! The cake-decorators did a SUPERB job! |
 |
| The snack table! YUMMMMMM!!!! Veggies, cheese and crackers, apple and cheese quesadillas, chips and salsa dip, cupcakes, and apple torte! There was also a refreshing punch prepared by Heather :) |
 |
| Yes, there was even an APPLE TREE! All guests wrote a wish for Nory and added it to this party focal-point (well...the second party focal-point.....Nory was the first)! I will be saving all of these words for her to read one day :) |
 |
| The gift table! Completely unnecessary. Honestly. Eleanor has already been spoiled beyond belief by her Kuwait family. Alas, these crazy ladies kept up the crazy and Nory's closet is on the brim of exploding. She got so many great outfits, accessories, toys, and more. Thank you SO MUCH ladies!!!!! |
 |
| The wonderful gals that made the day a wonderful one! |
Thank you for the beautiful shower girls! We are so, so lucky to have you in our lives. You make our hearts flutter. (Well - I haven't actually talked to Phillip about the movements of his heart in relation to your adoration of our daughter. But I bet it flutters too!)
WE LOVE YOU!
XOXO..................
