Baby Shower - A Vintage Tea Party

On July 31, 2010, my very good friends Angela and Mickey threw me a beautiful baby shower with all my girlfriends. The theme was "Vintage Tea Party" and it was absolutely wonderful. There were so many beautiful details. Angela decorated the party so perfectly and Mickey's cooking was divine. I had such a fun time - it couldn't have been better.

Here's the delicious spread.
Yummy cupcakes and tea cookies
The games were fun too - we got into groups and had to come up with as many songs as we could think of with the word "baby" in them.
Why am I not surprised that Kelli, Leah, and Kim were the winners of that game?! Of course, we got Kelli to sing a few of the tunes too :)
And Becca won BOTH of the "guess the number of candies" games
Presents time!
Everyone was so generous. I felt so blessed to have such sweet friends ...

Stephen & Tyler's "Guy's Weekend" ... in Pictures















4th of July 2010

We spent the 4th at my parents house with our family - it was a nice, low-key night of fireworks, food, and good company


It was VERY VERY cold...

... but we still enjoyed the fireworks

Beautiful view of Commencement Bay from my parent's deck

Grandma Clarice's 90th Birthday

We spent the last weekend in June back in Reno celebrating Grandma Clarice's 90th birthday and helping move her into her new assisted living home.
There was a lot of work to be done, but we had fun doing it...

Grandma Clarice's new place was absolutely beautiful. Kathleen kept joking that she was ready to move in! The staff was so helpful and the room was lovely.

The last day we were there, the staff threw Grandma Clarice a beautiful birthday party. It was a tea party theme and they put together an adorable table and delicious lunch.

90 years old and she still looks so beautiful.
