Ange's Baby Shower!

We're going to be welcoming another BOY to the "petit(e) AGG" club this fall!  Ange and Jay are expecting Baby Wong mid October and although everyone is excited, probably no one more than Adam :)  He's surrounded by the girls, and not just the Aunties, we're talking Lankha, Maddie, Mia, Kaeli, Alex, Meggie, and even Kaitlyn.  Good thing Aidan comes over once in a while and he gets to see Eric to "rough" around with :P  Maddie's friend Gabby treats him like a "boy" (no boys allowed?!) too!  But we have play dates with Matthew (and his sister Paige) to even things out...sort of?!

Well, it was loads of fun to plan and throw Ange her shower because she usually does the planning for all of our events...but I have to say, it was tough BECAUSE she plans everything! What to do? What colors to choose? What says "ANGE?"  *sorry Jay, we thank you for the Boy, but it's all about Ange right now ;P

With a lot of help from Ako (even from Maryland she is a lifesaver!), CpC, Yu Jin and Yoriko (and probably a lot of bossy-ness) we pulled it all together and had ourselves a shower for Ange! I liked the turquoise/brown combination so we went with that...from the adorable invites Yu Jin made (btw: she has a business of making cards for ALL occassions!) to the favors with Yoriko's help (thank you Target!) and matching cake from of course Cosentino's.  Mrs. Lee and the other aunties and family members and friends made all the food and other edibles :)  

I'm so glad the favors had such positive feedback!  I was afraid of it not going over well, but all the ladies LOVED them (at least that's what they said in front of me ;p).  It was really hard to decide on what to make because again, Ange's planning and creativity!  And also, although it was her baby shower, the favors oftentimes become something not so useful and/or baby oriented, so being sort of eco/green-minded (FYI: I'm what I consider to be a lime green person...and not what my husband called the new generation of "earth keepers!" but my recycling kick will be another blog posting...)  So for those wondering what the favors actually were? and why?  the middle layers are actually wash cloths made to resemble a "mini cake" because everyone knows Ange loves CHOCOLATE! and sweets, and if you have ever worked with Ange or asked her to be your bridesmaid, you also know she is ALWAYS prepared!  (she had super glue to fix my heel at my wedding ;P) Browsing Target one afternoon, Yoriko and I were in the travel section and we saw the cute little boxes of first aid and germ-x..and ta-da! They became the bottom and cake topper :)))  Everyone needs band-aids and if you plan to see the baby, please de-sanitize before touching Baby Wong...Ange and Jay didn't say that, but they should ;)

Anyways, I hope Ange had a great time and we wish her and Jay all the best for a happy, healthy and safe delivery...we can't wait to meet Baby Wong!

p.s. two things: doesn't Ange look GREAT!?! and she's like 6 weeks from her due date :) and secondly, when we were at VISX, everyone got us mixed up, and 8 years later, we're still all same same..Ashela I think Garth once called us :))  GO AGG! hehehehe
