baby shower weekend

Well this past weekend was my "Girl Out" weekend for my friend Carlen. She is pregnant with her third child and I decided that we needed to kidnap her for a weekend. Allow her to have a weekend away from her kids :O) So Carmen, Hannah(childhood friend of Carlen), and I made plans for the weekend.

First thing that happened was that on Friday I went to Hannah house and then we dropped in on Carlen and kidnapped her. She was totally surprised :O) We took her to a hotel where we watched "adult" TV which ended up being the news (seeing as Carlen had not been able to see it in years). Next we took her to the melting pot. I love fondue :O)

Here is me and Hannah at the melting pot :O)

The next day we went to Carlen's mother house for the baby shower. Seeing as the theme of the nursery is pink bunnies ~~ Carmen and I decided to go over board with the theme. So everyone wore ears and everything was pink. The cupcakes had pink bunnies on them and the food and the prizes and everything we could think of. Anyway the shower was a great success. After the shower we went to the Galleria and ate a GREAT dinner and then just did girl things.

You can see the bunny theme with everyone at the shower :O)

Finally I had all her friends from the shower pitch in and we got her a mothers-to-be spa package at Elizabeth Arden Red Door salon. She got a massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, and a spa lunch :O) She had a wonderful time.

The pink thing is a bonnet that Carmen gave Carlen. Carlen does not like when people put bow or headbands on babies, so she is going for bonnets. (this is a picture at the spa :O) )

Overall a good weekend, but exhausting :O) Plus with the time change things got a little behind , but everything worked out great!
