On Friday, November 12, 2010, Chris and I flew to Harrisburg, PA for our Baby Shower with family and friends. We had this weekend planned for awhile so it was something everyone was looking forward too plus his parents, Sister, and our nephew flew in from FL. It was a nice weekend full of family, fun, food, and memories to cherish a lifetime!
To recap our weekend... On Friday, we took his Grandma to lunch when we arrived in Harrisburg. By the way, it is much nicer to fly directly into Harrisburg than flying into Baltimore and driving. Anyway, it was nice to spend some time with just us and Grandma. We all had some yummy salads! That night, we went to a local bar (smoke-free!) with some of his family. Chris had a Miller Lite and some wings. I enjoyed a Diet Cherry Coke. After, we headed to Chris' favorite place, YP (Your Place). We chowed down on some Stromboli. It was like Christmas for Chris. He enjoyed that very much! Friends and family stopped by so it was a nice, relaxing evening! Of course, we were tired from getting up so early and traveling. We headed back up the mountain, where his Aunt Judy and Uncle George live and we went to bed!
Saturday, we got up and went to meet Chris' grandparents! This was a very exciting time for all of us! We also got to see his Uncle Tom, his Wife, and his cousin, Signourney. I posted photos from the weekend on FaceBook. I am sure most of you have seen them already. We spent most of the afternoon there, talking, and enjoying ourselves very much! But our Baby Shower started at 4 PM and his Aunt Judy wanted us there at 4:15 PM so it was time to head back up the mountain.

We had such a wonderful time at our Baby Shower! It was so great to be able to spend that time with family and friends. We played some fun games and got a lot of really nice gifts. Brixen is set with blankets, which is great because it sure does get cold here in Chicago. Also, Brixen got some cute clothes and a Lion Wall Art, which we have already put up in his nursery! There were so many great gifts. We are very thankful for everything we received but also feel so blessed that we have such wonderful family and friends. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Next time we see Chris' family and friends, we will be parents and Brixen will be with us! It was definitely hard to say good-bye to our family, especially his parents, Brittany, and Caleb. It was such a short visit but so memorable. We look forward to seeing all of you hopefully next Summer! Baby Brixen will be very excited!
I love my family!
