What A Wonderful World

Well, she loved the gifts. Reyna's baby shower is taking place as I am typing this post and my sister, Rosenet (her mom) is sending the pictures to me since I could not make it to the party.

I added baby boy socks on clothes pins instead of a ribbon tie. And everyone who took diapers were entered in a drawing. Who knows it might be an all expense paid trip to Starbucks; I love their tea.

Every one was asked to take a story book for Wyatt, I sent "What a Wonderful World" a book written based on the song.

Isn't that the most darlingest cake? 

The party theme was, A PEA in a Pod.

I am glad to share these pictures with you. You can see more pictures of the baby blankets here.

Have a wonderful day,

Aiello's East Coast Italian

Just had dinner...

I found the quaintest little place for Italian dining, Aiello's. The owner,  Joe Aiello, came to our table and introduced himself. His New York accent was clear to me that I asked him where he was from. He looked at me and said he lost that New York accent a long time ago (no,  it's still there).

The restaurant is on the corner of 7th St and Thunderbird Rd. Three different restaurants in a row and owned by Mr. Aiello: Aiello's, Isa's Pizza and Charr an American Burger bar. We ate on the patio of Aiello's and noticed Mr. Aiello goes from one restaurant to the other making sure everyone is enjoying themselves.
Kristen and I split the linguini fradiavolo. For dessert, we had real tiramisu, the kind that makes you withdraw your fork from your mouth slowly to savor every creamy bite.
Mr. Aiello came back to our table with a container that had numbers in it from 1 through 90. We called out a number and if he rolled out that number dinner was on the house. Well, all I can say it was well worth it at any cost.

Thank you for the visit,

For Wyatt Lee

My niece is going to have a baby boy, Wyatt Lee. This is Reyna's miracle baby.
I began to make a quilt and had so much extra material I was able to add two receiving blankets and a burping pad.

Burp-pad with pacifier tab. 

For Wyatt Lee Gonzalez.

Love,  your great-auntie D.

Dear friend, so glad you stopped by for a visit,

Kristen's Pie & Stuffin-Muffins

Kristen made a beautiful pie. It looked as if it were topped with circus roses but it was thinly sliced apples decorated over a homemade custard pie.

My sister, Eva, prepared stuffing in muffin-cups; how cute is that?  They tasted so good I took some home for lunch.


Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with friends and family.

Blessings,
