Baby shower

The baby shower....My mom organised a beautiful baby shower for me on a Sunday afternoon....the theme that i chose was "Bee", cause i just love the colour yellow and thought that would be nice....so it was a baby shower with the theme "mom to Bee"......

My mom did an amazing job, the table with all the sweet looked amazing, from honeycomb to liqorish to yellow cupcakes, white lindt chocolate balls.....just so divine.....my Mutti (gran) and me decided to help out with the savouries...from quiche to "chaes-chuechli" (savoury cheesecakes) to a huge cheese board divine....

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad.
