Here Comes the Bride!

Upon finding out that our cousin P proposed to his girlfriend, we were ecstatic! We absolutely love her and she is a fabulous addition to our family! Since we knew and loved her so well, we volunteered to throw a bridal shower for her at our house. We kept the theme a secret and planned accordingly. Us girls know how to throw a mean party (if I do say so myself). The theme was Mickey Mouse and I thought all the decor, food and games were perfect! Overall, a fantastic party for an outstanding bride! Love you A!!!

An Anticipated Event

After days of searching for a graduation dress, addressing & mailing announcements, organizing an after-graduation dinner/BBQ and more, graduation day finally came! My little sis J graduated and it was a wonderful event--something she's been too excited for for a very long time. Sadly, G&G J could not come for the event, but with some other family there, it was fabulous! On either side of J sat two of her closest friends and her smile was HUGE! Suffice to say, all the planning and organizing was worth it! (Now only 3 more years till the next graduate)
