Celebrating a New Baby in Our Family

 DSCN5137

Our family is very happy that my sister-in-law is expecting a baby…it’s a boy! She looks beautiful! To celebrate her pregnancy my sister, Monique, and I organized a baby shower for her and some of her closest friends. It was a lovely day filled with joy and friendship! Luckily, the weather cooperated and we were able to hold the baby shower outdoors as planned. She received many nice gifts that will be useful for the baby! We hosted it at a beautiful restaurant called Candela’s in Coronado. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! We could not have asked for more. I had been there for dinner a few times, so I knew the food was very tasty, but had not hosted any events there and was pleasantly surprised with the excellent service. I recommend this place for any meal and outing, a date night, dinner with friends, special occasions…and to host events – and if you know me, you are aware I will gladly provide referrals, but am selective with recommendations!

We look forward to meeting the new addition to our family! I can’t wait to hold him! Have you had any recent additions to your family?

Hugs,

Paola

The decor was in blue because she is expecting a boy – I found these cute lollipops at See’s Candies.

My niece ordered the french toast, delicious! This pic made me remember the days when she was a baby and we were celebrating her birth! She has grown into a wonderful, smart, and beautiful young lady! I’m so proud of her!
