Emma's Baby Shower

Last Saturday, we had a Baby Shower to celebrate this adorable little miss:

The colors of Emma's nursery are pink & green, and since her Momma loves books (she's a children's librarian), her room is also full of characters from children's books. One of her Momma's favorite authors? Dr. Seuss. So we thought Horton should appear on the cake!

Emma & her mommy, Amy:

Emma got all kinds of cute and useful things!

I can't wait to see you in all of those cute outfits you got Miss Emma!!

Amy and Sam's Wedding

My baby sister, Amy got married to my new brother-in-law, Sam on Friday night. =)
It was a beautiful wedding!!
Amy was gorgeous & Sam was very handsome.
But, before all of that could happen, we had to do a few things.
First, on Thursday, we had to decorate the reception hall.
We made Sam change out lights that had burnt out.
Since he is so tall, we thought he was the perfect person for the job.

While Sam was doing that, Amy, our mom, and Amy's friends Theresa & Farihah set out tables, chairs, and put table clothes on all of the tables and decorated.

Then Sam & Amy practiced their first dance. :0)

On Thursday night we had a rehearsal, followed by a dinner at Sam's mom's house.

Friday morning, Amy, our mom, and our sister Kathleen, went back to the hall to put out these cute teacups with flowers in them. They went on all of the tables.

While Amy & I went to get our nails done, (and then to finish getting ready...) Mom & Kathleen finished setting up. (THANKS!!)

Finally it was time for the wedding!!

Don't they look fabulous?!?!

So happy!!

Amy & her bridesmaids:

Tonya, me, Amy, Ragan, Theresa.

Amy & Sam & our mom & dad:

It was a beautiful wedding with wonderful people.

Amy & Sam, we love you so much and wish you a lifetime of happiness!!!!

Amy's Bachelorette Party!

Saturday night, we had Amy's Bachelorette Party!! We started out at Mosley Street Melodrama to talk, have drinks, and watch the show. Before the show started, we took some pictures with the Bride to be. Amy & her Bridesmaids:

Amy & our sisters, sister-in-law, & niece:

Amy got this nice giant cup to drink out of:

Unfortunately this cup met an early demise on the way to the bar......

Someone may or may not have been tipsy and may or may not have sat on it.....

During the musical part of the show, one of the singers came over & sang to Amy:

Then shots in the parking lot!

I am going to be nice to Amy (and everyone else who was there...) and not post any pictures from the bar. =)

It was so much fun though and there were a lot of great girls to hang out with!!!

I did realize however, that I am too old to do this anymore. ;0)

*****Thank you Tonya for the great gift bags & the fun tasks for Amy to do!!!*****

Amy's Bridal Shower

This is my baby sister and her fiance, Sam:

They are getting married next month!
So, we had a Bridal Shower for them today. =)
My sister Mary made the cake.
It was beautiful!

My mom, sisters, sisters-in-law, and a few of Amy's friends helped with food, decorations, punch, etc.

I could not have done all of this on my own.

Thanks everyone!!!

We played a fun game where we divided everyone into groups of 4 - 5 people.

Each group got a bag filled with tulle, ribbons, sequins, headbands, flowers, etc.

Each group then had to make a veil for Amy to wear at her Bachelorette party.

Everyone did a great job!!!

They turned out really cute.

Then it was time for presents!

She got a lot of nice things.

I think she was pretty happy with her haul. ;-)


Here is Amy and her bridesmaids:

Me, Tonya, Amy, Theresa, and Ragan.

Congratulations Amy & Sam!!!!
