Pretty in Pink

There was one good reason why we were all rosy yesterday.



We have another baby girl in the group! A few months after the arrival of Audrey Elise, we now welcome little Rebecca Abigail - Mona's daughter. And true to form, D' Frendz had a baby welcome party and shower at Mona's garden. (The site of all future baby showers - according to yesterday's vote.)

The great thing about an occasion like this is the fact that it's so carefree and casual. Getting together with these friends - be it for a birthday, a wedding, a casual dinner, or just a lazy Sunday afternoon - is just like a family gathering. We sit around the table, talk no end, share food and free-flowing conversation -- the way a perfect meal should be.

But for Becca, the presents were more interesting than our conversation. (Although she did try to contribute to our conversation with her happy babbling.) Since she's a pretty baby, we chose to gave her pretty things in the pretty color pink. Here's Grace showing off a shirt that Bonique got, but Becca was more interested in the bag.



Just like I was uber interested in this bag - Maricar and Gary's gift to Mona and Becca.



During Audrey's baby shower, there was a wealth of nail cutters. This is a nice way of saying that everyone simply bought the same thing by mistake. For Becca's shower, the "nail cutter" was the "hooded towel." No less than 3 people got the same thing: Grace, Tintin and myself. Good thing you can never have too many pink hooded towels. Harhar.



Welcome to the family, Rebecca Abigail. We're all tickled pink to have you around.
