It was held @ Canele, known for its fine chocolate desserts, cakes & chocolates. We each ordered a dessert with tea & chatted the afternoon away. The girls surprised me with a beautiful written card that said "Happy Pushing" & a post-natal spa voucher they knew I was deprived of for the 9 months. You are just excited as I am about the arrival of Anne Marie!<br /><br />Thank you, Gals for the friendship! We celebrated a toast in honour of us independent women! The pictures we all took together will remind me of the wonderful memories leading to my 1st birth.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="204" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5173/4130/320/267488/Baby%20Shower%20with%20the%20my%20good%20friends.jpg" width="288" border="0" /> </span><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Baby Shower with my good friends<br /><br /></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 221px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="241" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5173/4130/320/707146/Happy%20Pushing%21.jpg" width="298" border="0" />Happy Pushing!</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 231px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="241" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5173/4130/320/278268/Four%20Women%20%26%20A%20Baby.jpg" width="298" border="0" />Four Women & a Baby</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 281px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="306" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5173/4130/320/382293/Aunt%20Char%20Char%20saying%20Hello%21.jpg" width="220" border="0" />Aunt Char Char saying Hello!</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="227" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5173/4130/320/6805/Aunt%20Veron%20%26%20Aunt%20Danielle%20saying%20Hello%20too%21.jpg" width="298" border="0" />Aunt Veron & Aunt Danielle saying Hello! </span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36879273-116227893668592720?l=benlaura.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Simsnoreply@blogger.com0
