It's A Beautiful Life

Hey All! I hope you had a great weekend! We had the most beautiful day on Sunday in celebration of our daughter being baptized!
The whole day was just perfect! She didn't cry once during the ceremony, and was pretty good throughout the whole party. Baby A knew it was her special day! :)
I will post some more pictures as I get them. Unfortunately, my camera died before the party! Booo! So I am waiting for pictures from everyone else. We had about 60 people at an Italian restaurant, they closed down for us, and everything was amazing! We had vegan and non-vegan food (T isn't vegan, so I can't expect him to have an all vegan party). But only 2 entrees and one of the cakes weren't vegan. We had an anti-pasta with olives and roasted peppers, a mixed green salad, fusilli with broccoli rabe and sun dried tomatoes and a roasted vegetable plate. The non-vegan options were chicken or fish. We also had a vegan carrot cake! I am so mad my camera died!!! Anyway, for now you can find me on Facebook! I am always posting over there!
Anyway, before all that happened, on Saturday night, T had to run down to our parents houses and pick up stuff to drop off at the restaurant. He picked me up a green juice on his way home: Lemon, Apple, Ginger and a shot of wheatgrass!
I also made this delicious salad of romaine, Bubbies, olives and a crumbled Sunshine Burger. Someone once called a salad with Bubbies and a Sunshine Burger "The Lauren Original"--I like that! ;)
And finally, my little boo-boo going for her doctor visit! She gained 2 pounds and one inch! We have hit 8 pounds people!!! Yay Mommy Milk! ;)
Have a great day all!

Saw the lovely photos on Facebook!

OMG - 60 people at an Italian restaurant?! Who paid for all of that? Must have cost a fortune - lke more than a wedding?! I have often wondered what I would do for food after a baptism (if I have a baby). Feeding that many people with wine as well is not in our budget... Any tips?
