On top of all the festivities we had planned, it was also the first weekend of March Madness. Always an exciting time of year! Friday (the big day) we started off by going to breakfast at Terrace Cafe. By far my favorite place to have breakfast! DELISH! After breakfast the guys went to drink beer and watch all the games. The girls went to get mani / pedis. That night we invited all out of town guests to Paco's, Tacos, & Tequila for dinner and more basketball games. Here are a couple of pics from the night......
Craig showing off one of Kurts gag birthday gifts.......
Ice Tea, Jeff? It was only 6pm and he had already switched to non-alcoholic beverages!
Birthday boy with his brownie and fried ice cream sundae....
At 12:00 on Saturday we had the couples baby shower. It was Pickles and Ice Cream themed. There was plenty of great food and a create your own ice cream sundae bar for dessert! Yum-O! It was a gorgeous day and Mason got lots of great gifts! Thanks everyone!!!
The loot....
Here are some pictures of the gifts after we had time to get them together in the nursery or playroom......
New baseball rug and sports mobile.
Baseball ceiling fan...
Mason's piggy bank......better start saving now!!!!! Baskets on the changing table have his favorite sports teams on the chalkboards. Had to leave the baseball one as TBD to humor Daddy. We all know Mason will bleed pinstripes.
Yankee blanket made by Kristin! Smitty loves going into Masons room when I am in there and sprawling out on the blanket. So cute!
Mason's Yankee rocking chair and his first Yankee Stadium hot dog from Great Aunt Karen and Uncle Dan!
Baseball glove chair. Mommy found this at Home Goods. Couldn't leave without it!
Pack and Play from Uncle Andrew and Aunt Lindsay!
Mama Roo bouncy seat / swing from Uncle Craig. Daddy's favorite gift!!!!
Car seat all set in the car! So weird driving around and seeing this in the rear view mirror. Only a couple of weeks and there will be a little one in there! Hard to believe. Time has gone by sooooooo fast!
Bags packed for the hospital.
After the baby shower we had a couple hours to rest before we headed to Blackfinn for the surprise party. Kurt thought we were going out to dinner uptown. When we were on the way to "dinner" my brother called and said that Kyrie Irving was at Blackfinn. Things couldn't have worked out more perfect....of course Kurt insisted that we go there before dinner so he could try to get an autograph. Kyrie was already gone when we got there but my dad managed to get an autograph for Kurt. Here are some pictures from the night.
Carrot Cake!!!!!
Kyrie.....
Surprise!!!!!
The weekend was a success! Everyone had a great time! Needless to say we spent all day Sunday on the couch watching college basketball. A week has passed and Kurt is finally fully recovered. I guess 30 hits some people really hard!!!! LOL.
