I made it!

I made it through this past crazy weekend. We had Sarah's wedding shower in St. Louis I wish I could have had some better pictures of the shower, but my camera took really blurry pictures for some reason. The church looked beautiful. I also wish I could have got better pictures of the decorations/place settings. I made these fake cakes that turned out super cute, but you can't really see them. The day was too much a blur to get great pictures.

Part of our yummy and beautiful dessert spread.

More dessert! Fruit salad, mini-cheescakes, classic wedding cake, chocolate cake with latte icing and chocolate cake with peanut butter. In the last picture at far right you can see the coconut cake, oreo truffles, and cookies. They were all so delicious! Us bridesmaids and the moms made it all.

Berni's yum chicken salad and other sandwiches.

We almost immediately we followed it up with a surprise (sort of) pirate-themed seafood , b-day extravaganza for Scott. He was feeling infringed upon sharing his b-day with his sister's shower. Since he was being such a baby about it we through in the surprise pirate-themed part of it. It was fun, but I don't recommend throwing two parties in one day. The first was for about 40 people, but thankfully the second was for only 12, and it was all family. Both were a success, and each person enjoyed their time.

Family in their pirate gear as Scott approached. Can you see the blow up sword and parrot? Can you spot the earrings?

Colin is even wearing an earring.

Scott ready to break in his new deep fryer and apron. Can you see his pirate b-day boy award?

Scott's reaction as he walked up to his party. He was surprised about the pirate part. He enjoyed the lack of subtlety we were implying about him acting like a little kid over his b-day.
