Party/Baby gift

Last night we had a little party at Julie (Jazzercise instructor) and Fred's house, they are the two that got married while we were all in Vegas. It was a little party for the wedding party. It was a blast. They served us steak, twice baked potatoes and salad. We all brought a few snackie foods as well. Fred also made stuffed portebello mushrooms and shrimp scampi. We had way too much food before dinner was even served. We were stuffed!

After dinner we sat and watched the wedding video, it lasted a whole 10 minutes or so. LOL then there were a few gifts to hand out. I wasn't expecting a thing! And I ended up with a couple of gifts. 

It's a Pandora bracelet. Something I've always wanted but just never asked for it or really thought about it. They are kind of expensive and I can't believe Julie bought this for me. This was a congratulations gift for my being pregnant. If you can see the small charm it's a baby carriage. And the second charm is a bell that Julie gave me for being a bridesmaid in her wedding. How sweet and thoughtful, now I can start to fill my bracelet. This will also be an easy Christmas and/or birthday present, to get me new charms. Doland Jewelers for anyone who wants to know. LOL The little rattle was in the cupcakes that Julie had got from Hy-Vee, they were delicious and I had to take the rattle home.

After the little gift exchange the men went downstairs to play Texas Hold Em' and the girls stayed upstairs and talked, what we do best. It was a great night and were home around 12:30, way past my bedtime.

We slept in the next morning and relaxed all day. Watched the Bears lose and made homemade chicken noodle soup. OMG it smelled so good in our house all day and now I'm ready to eat a bowl.

Tomorrow is our 12 week ultrasound at 11:00, afterwards we are thinking about going to Galena for the afternoon for lunch and to putz around. Tom took the night off tonight so he'll be able to be at the u/s with me. I can't wait to hear this baby's heartbeat
