Showering

With our good friends Sam and Brent getting married next month, the wedding festivities are getting into full swing. While Todd was off in Vegas for Brent's bachelor party, I hosted Sam's bridal shower at our place. I love our home so much, even more so now that I have the space to accommodate guests. The house has a wonderful flow to it - it just feels comfortable.

I had a great time decorating - what fun! Because Sam's colors are yellow and green, I found a beautiful green/cream damask fabric for the tablecloths and used lemons in jars for decor. (I always think of Jennifer Aniston in the "Break Up" with her '12 lemon centerpiece,' but I digress . . .) We had mimosas, lemonade and iced tea along with brunch-y foods provided by Sam's mother and sister.

My cupcakes that failed terribly in the looks, but tasted delicious. I made frosting! Woo hoo!

Cute favors filled with candy delicious-ness. (Color coordinated, of course.)

The party guests!

My very "Martha" towel cake - the best yet! I do love making a good towel cake. Or diaper cake. Or diaper wreath! I do love a good "crafty" outlet.

We all had a good time and the boys arrived at the end of the shower. Todd was able to get the a/c working for us, too! He saved the day :)
