Easter Weekend

Friday night we kicked off Easter weekend by watching a classic Harrison Ford movie. It was the first time I had ever seen it and Beezy hated it so much he fell asleep 30 minutes into it. I thought it was pretty good for it's time. The movie...

 

On Saturday, we were surprised with an early morning showing of our house. We were able to get back into our own house to get ready since we were having an open house from 1-4:00 p.m. We also got a Saint Joseph and buried in the yard. We are really praying the house sells this week.

While the open house was going on, we had a baby shower to attend. Beezy's nephew is having a little girl in May so we headed to the park that they were having the shower in. They did a mermaid theme and the shower was really cute. I thought the cake was adorable!

A few members of Beezy's family lives in Las Vegas, a few were in town over the weekend so we went to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack with his family for dinner. It was the weirdest dinner I think I've ever been at. We had just ordered our meals and at the table behind ours, a guy fell to the ground and passed out. They got him up and revived him and he proceeded to vomit everywhere on the ground. 911 was called and EMT workers had to take him out. Apparently he was having some kind of medical issue and it wasn't alcohol related. Crazy! Needless to say my appetite was gone at that point.

Sunday, we celebrated Easter all together at one of his cousin's house. We had an Easter egg hunt for the kids and the adults had some fun too. Have you guys ever seen these confetti eggs? Their egg shells full of confetti and you can break them on each other for fun without it being gross egg messy. Well we had fun with them.

The guys also got together and took a group photo...

I got a visit from the Easter bunny. He left me a great basket filled with The Sound of Music 50th Anniversary Edition, CHiPs season 3, a wind chime and BRITNEY SPEARS tickets for Las Vegas!

 

I will be seeing Britney Spears in Las Vegas next month! Woohoo! I can't wait! The moment she announced her residency in Vegas, I wanted to be there. Beezy, my mom, his mom... everyone got an Easter basket this year! I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Oh Baby!

A week ago, I had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower for a co-worker. She's eight months pregnant and still going strong at work. When she mentioned she would like to have a shower, I volunteered to host it. Um... when did baby showers get so complicated? The mother to be had only one request... the shower have a pink/white theme. Fitting since she's having a baby girl!

First up the thing everyone goes to a baby shower for... cake.

I commissioned a two-tier buttercream, vanilla cake with strawberry filling. Since the baby is a girl and going to be named a name that starts with "G", I decided to add that simple touch. I was extremely nervous on the 30 minute car ride from the bakery to her house. I was nervous that one rough bump in the road was going to destroy that bow. Thankfully the cake made it in perfect condition. Then there was the cupcakes. I decided to make some chocolate cupcakes for the baby shower. I had originally planned to make about 40 but I got really busy trying to plan and coordinate every other detail. So I ended up making about 18.

Of course you can't have a baby shower without balloons. I think the next time I travel with balloons someone should remind me that I have to drive on I5 and not see out of the back window.

Needless to say, the baby shower turned out to be really great. Everyone had a good time and the mother to be liked everything. However, I think I won't volunteer to host another one for awhile. It's expensive and a lot of work! I was exhausted! I'm glad everyone had fun though. My favorite thing was the favors...

How cute are those baby girl cigars?! I mean really! Plus they gave that vintage feel.
