Over the weekend we had a party to properly welcome Odette into the world. It's always nice to get together with friends and we could not think of a better reason than to celebrate the arrival of our little girl.
We decided on a french theme for the party given the french origin of Odette's name and our love of France. In addition to several french cheeses, baguette, crudite, tea sandwiches and truffles, we had the most delicious cake from our very favorite bakery, Two Little Red Hens (okay so the cake was not really french, but well worth the diversion from the theme). We also created a signature cocktail with Lillet Rose, gin and elderflower in her honor which was the perfect shade of pink and appropriately dubbed "The Odette". It took a lot of trials the week before (a tough job for Josh and me!), but the end result was a hit at the party.
True to her nature, Odette slept most of the time while being passed from person to person. And Olin had many of his friends in attendance so he was not lacking for entertainment.
While we often miss having our family near, we feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends in the city. It was a lovely party for a lovely little lady who is very much loved by all the special people in her life.
