My Red Thread to Ava Grace Ya Han: SHOWER FOR AVA AND I HOSTED BY PACU STAFF!

This evening Ava and I went to a shower in our honour hosted by the PACU(recovery room) staff. It was a beautiful evening and we were able to spend the whole evening out on the deck by the pool. It was great seeing everyone again and getting caught up on the gossip. Ava sure enjoyed all the attention she got.

Time to open the cards and gifts!

Look at all those gifts!

Ava modeling some of her new duds!

Receiving more quilt swatchs and wish pages for Ava's 100 Good Wishes Quilt!

Ava clapping at all the presents!

Ava using the foot rest as a slide!

Time to get caught up with all the gossip at work.

What a beautiful cake! Note the ladybug!

Time to cut the cake!

On a bit of a sugar high(icing sugar)

Boy, this icing is the "Best"!

Above is a picture of all the beautiful gifts we got at the shower. Also included but not in the picture was a gift of money for Ava's education fund, gift certificate for Sears Photo Studio, a gift certificate for a day at the Toronto Metro Zoo for both Ava and Mama as well as a Spa gift certificate for Mama. Thank you all for all the wonderful gifts and for such a lovely evening.
