B'More Chai: 09.2012

Wow, its really wedding season...

Got a chance to spend another weekend celebrating love, life and marriage with more friends during Labor Day! Bryan and I both recollected on how lucky we are to have such a diverse group of amazing friends in our lives that we truly enjoy sharing these special moments with. (This would making wedding count for us up to 4 this year so far with two more to go!!)

The Chai's with the newlyweds!

Sneaking a piece of challah that is traditionally cut at Jewish ceremonies (couldn't help myself, it looked so good!)

Customary couple pic.

And the full length shot!

On a side note - that blue dress is super tight!! Six months pregnant and I didn't think I would fit into the dress I got, but luckily the belly was on my side that night and we were able to shimmy into the dress. (Also having a full zip on the back of the dress helped too!) I'm really enjoying showing the bump off in fitted dresses too!

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend off, I know I definitely did not want to go back to work this week =(

I also made some super easy breakfast pastries - Peach Financiers - to perk up our Saturday morning this weekend. They were a perfect pairing with coffee/tea and the rainy weather! Check out the recipe!!

Til next time!

Baby Shower!

I was so happy to spend the past week in CA to celebrate - Carla & Mario's wedding and a baby shower! The week went by quickly and we were lucky to have amazing weather the whole time (typical CA!) Carla and Mario had a beautiful wedding and I was so honored to be a part of it. Their love and the love of their friends and family was so apparent, such a wonderful couple.

Bryan left to head back to MD that weekend and I stayed on for a week of vacation to spend time with family and friends. My mom and sisters hosted a lovely baby shower for me (since I won't be flying back to CA anytime soon!) and I was so lucky to be able to celebrate the baby shower surrounded by our closest family and friends! See below for some highlights from the trip.
