Bubbles & Brew, Baptisms & "I Do"!

We have had lots going on lately! I've been a bad blogger, which I blame on the fact that I'm working on the first newsletters of the year for both the early childhood PTA and my multiples group, attending physical therapy to try to finally get my knee back in working order, and dealing with two kiddos who seem to only nap every other day (and as you might have guessed, they almost NEVER pick the same day to nap!). Anyhow, we have had some fun events with our friends over the past few weekends, starting with a couples' shower for our friends Hilari and Nick. 

The theme was "Bubbles & Brew" (aka champagne and beer!). I'd never seen that theme done before and thought it was a pretty cute way to do "his and hers". We had a very last-minute location change which threw us off a bit, but other than that I think the shower turned out really cute!

Pinterest-inspired decor!

Bride & Groom

Kristin, Tiff and Me.

Notice there are no pics of the drinks...that would be because I made a Pinterest recipe for a champagne punch and it wound up being a not-so-lovely brownish-greenish color! Yuck! Unfortunately it tasted only slightly better than it looked, too. Must remember to try Pinterest recipes prior to using them for a large crowd.

The next day I attended the baptism of Cristi's little one, Ellison. (Actually, I attended the after-party...I didn't want to attempt both kids sitting through the service.) I only took one pic but it's a pretty cute one of Miss Ell-G enjoying some fruit on a stick!

Next up is the wedding of our friends Jonathan and Tiffany. We have known Jonathan forever and were so excited to finally see him tie the knot! Brian and my brother were both in the wedding party, so Tiff and I got some quality pool time in at the Omni while the boys did wedding stuff. So nice and relaxing!

Me and the handsome groom...he's pretty much like a brother to me.

My real brother! And Kim...I was SO happy to get to catch up with Kim and Levi.

Proof that nothing good happens after midnight.
