Baby shower that is! The two expecting mums (Paula and myself) within our close circle of girlfriends have due dates within weeks of each other. So a couple of weeks ago, we decided to have a girls' night out before either of our babies made an appearance. I was all geared up for a great night as it'd been awhile since I'd been out on a girlie night, especially since we were going to L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon. Well, neither both of us preggie ladies knew that the others had planned a little secret behind our backs. It was a surprise double baby shower!
Looking back I should have suspected something was going on (it's obvious that I've lost even more brain cells with this pregnancy!!). For instance, after having planned to all leave home together in one car, hours before we were going to leave, I get a call from Dal saying that Chris had to get her hair done and Pam had to run some errands in the city before going to the restaurant so they could not come with us. In actual fact, they had to get there early to decorate the room. To be honest, I did think that it was a little strange, why would Pam be running errands at night and Chris getting her hair done? Wow, were we going to hit the bars in Lan Kwai Fong after dinner?" ;-)
What a surprise it was! Good friends, great food and a beautifully decorated room. Thank you ladies (Chris, Pam, Vera, Dal and Paula) for a lovely night. It was a wonderful surprise!!!
Wow, we didn't expect this!
A beautiful baby gift tower - thanks to Christine's creative handiwork
Good friends, great company, what more could you ask for?
My entree of marrow with golden mushrooms (forgot the fancy description of the dish)
Any guesses as to the sex of both babies??!!
Looking pretty moments before we devoured the yummy food!
