Happy New years Eve 2012

The Schwehrs threw a great New Years Eve party- full of good food, dancing, games and friends.

 We celebrated on Eastern Time for the kids with sparkling apple cider! 

 Cameron even hooked up the basement with a disco ball! 

 We all on the other hand, made it to midnight:) 

 So did these three girlies! 

 Thank you Schwehrs for a FUN par-tay! 

Christmas Ladies Tea

Catherine threw a lovely tea party for her neighbors, family and our community group ladies. 

The food was amazing and the tea delicious! We had a fun game and exchanged Christmas ornaments which was really fun! Catherine had awesome party favors- a candle and cute wooden ornament from IKEA! She even included the girls with awesome angel night-lights which the girls use every night.

 Love that our girls are all such good friends! 

 crazy Ada:) 

Blessed to do life and ENJOY life with these ladies! 

Thank you, Catherine, for a lovely afternoon. 

Beach Themed Bridal Shower

Sola church is having a wedding very soon! 

Francesca and Jon are tying the knot in June on a beach in Florida! 

We are SO very happy for them as they start their new life together. 

We threw Franki a "beach themed" shower in March! 

                        Cream cheese mints (search online for recipe) were made in shell molds.

 Special thanks to:

Melody Mondragon for organizing the food- it was all so fresh and bright! 

Connie, Alyssa and  Cynthia for doing the decorations and favors- so beachy, light and sea worthy! 

I made the cake and it was such a hot day that on the ride over that the icing really got a bit soupy- oh well! It made it and we salvaged what we could. 

      Franki's sister in law made scented bath salts for favors. 

 We love Franki so much and she is going to make a beautiful bride and even lovelier wife for Jon! 

So blessed to call them friends! 

 And I must leave you with this little cutie!

Superhero Baby Shower

Our church had the privileged of throwing Val a superhero themed baby shower for her little man, who was unnamed at the time- hence an "E" for Endyk! 

Of course, I used Pinterest for inspiration in my decorating and food choices! 

Special thanks to Erika, Laura and Debbie for helping with the decorations

and

Sandra, Sue, Glo and Melody for bringing all the food! 

 

 

 

 Yes, that is "Kryptonite" candy- it really glowed!      

 

 Seriously, isn't Val the cutest thing! She made her own special Party shirt:) 

 

Val got so many cute baby boy gifts! 

 

 

We are so blessed to have a church with lots of kiddos and even more on the way! 

And we are even more blessed to have a special friend like Val in our body! 

By the way, she had her little boy only 5 days after the shower. 

They named him Calvin Michael and he is as cute as can be!
