Here Comes the Bride!

I am SO SO excited for my sweet college friend, Mindy! She has met her soul mate and is marrying him this summer! Mindy is the most beautiful, friendly and caring person you'll ever meet. Mark is one lucky guy! Our friend Natalie threw her a bridal shower a couple weeks ago. It was PERFECT. Natalie is the best when it comes to parties/showers. She did a spring citrus theme. She had it nailed, guys.. down to the lemon scented wall flowers she had smelling up her house!

(Mindy loves Shiner, ok?)

Natalie MADE these. Enough said. I use mine daily. :)

My first plate. Yes, there were more.

The Loot!

JACLYN, of all people, made a towel cake! :) 

 What's a Bridal Shower without a friendly game of Tissue Paper Wedding Gown???

Jam, Em, Jac=Unstoppable.

I know what you're thinking.. Rosettes?? Yes. We did them.

Our masterpiece.

Natty in her gown!

Why should we have won? Ours had a REMOVABLE TRAIN for the dance party!

The actual winner. (Mindy's mother was on this team... rigged? I think so.)

The models.

She does. (p.s. That's Mindy's sister, couldn't they be twins??)

The bride and me!

My Cohen came to visit afterwards! He shook an empty can of puffs onto his head. He doesn't have baby dandruff.

What a party! Her wedding is just about 2 1/2 months away, I can't wait to travel to SOUTH TEXAS for it! 

Congrats Mindy and Mark! <3

5th Annual Buxton Oscar Party

Last Sunday was the Oscars, as you all know. It has become a great tradition for us college friends to get together every year and have a fancy soiree to watch the Oscars. Well, Natalie and Ry outdid themselves this year! As they do every year.. (Can't wait to see 2013!!?) I managed to take a few pictures of her amazing spread, even though we were late, as I didn't get off until 7pm.

She did a gourmet concession stand! Three fancy flavors of popcorn, soft pretzels, mini hotdogs, soda pops!

These popcorns were so yummy! That black and white one was TDF! (to die for)

Yum!

Cupcakes with snickers, m&ms, reese's and gummies on top!

Oreo cheesecakes! Cotton candy favors!

And Nacho Bar! I had multiple plates of these!

We played Oscar Bingo and cast our own ballots on who would win each category.

See? Told you I enjoyed that popcorn. 

Ry and Danielle.. Her face is killing me.. :) 

My handsome little guy!

Baby Coco working on that water bottle.

Hector and I, all gussied up.

Jac, Natty and me! (I had on heels..) 

Oscars 2011!! With a fresh, month old Cohen!

This was us at Oscars 2010.

Immediately after Oscars 2009, we got engaged! 

THE FIRST OSCAR PARTY!!! 2008!

Me, Natty, Jam, Jac and Mindy! 

Mindy, me and Jac! Love these girls!

Natalie, thank you for always throwing the best parties! You are awesome! It gets better every year!
