Wine and Cheese Shower, 2009

Last Saturday night we celebrated the visit of Paul and Hailey from Hawaii and included a shower at Ruthy's house. Kathy, Ruthy, Elizabeth and I worked fast in the morning to clean up and get the house ready for the guests while Bill took the children out for "brunch". Ruthy displayed her wine and cheese stations in several areas. Kathy, Brenda and I provided tasty snacks to go with the wine and cheese, and Christie provided a cute cake. Hailey and Paul actually brought us real flower leis from Hawaii in a cooler! Can't wait for the arrival of baby "shim": she+him, our big surprise!
