Lauren’s Baby Shower

by | May 27, 2011 | Travel, USA Travel

Last weekend, I flew up to Chicago (third time in 6 months!) for my sister’s baby shower. It was the first time I had been back at Medinah Country Club since E&L Gallery and also seen most of her friends. I was not involved in the planning or decorating, so all I had to do was show up, talk to folks and eat some of this yummy cake. Easy!

the monkey theme was well used in this baby shower

While it’s a little surreal seeing my younger sister 33 weeks pregnant,  I cannot wait to meet the little girl in July. You can see the E&L Gallery. Congratulations, sis!
