It Showered This Weekend!

This, my friends, is called “the banana game.” And it’s what happens when you have a crazy-fun bridesmaid who knows how kick it up a notch at a bridal shower.

On Saturday afternoon, my lovely ladies hosted an intimate cocktail soiree complete with almond crusted chicken sandwiches, mimosas, and lovely banana games. I had a smokin’ good time and am still overwhelmed with the love and support from the women surrounding me.

What a beautiful spread. Egg and jalapeno sandwiches, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, coconut shrimp… YUM YUM.

z10428101
It’s never too early for mimosas.

My bridal shower keepsake. The girls assigned one page to each guest and the sheets were filled with warm sentiments and wishes.

Keeping with the cocktail theme, my cousin made these darling mini martini shaker favors.

Said banana-game bridesmaid baked a super moist birthday-slash-shower cake. Mmmm…. So yummy that I fell off the South Beach wagon this weekend.

I received some lovely and much needed gifts for our currently empty home.

And also some cute ’n sexy gifts for… hmmm. Is this for me or Mr. Eggplant? smiley3 (I LOVE this short little nightie from Betsey Johnson. Do you think I can pull it off with a pair of dressy jeans?)

z10428107
Yes, I am shorter than ALL my bridesmaids.

And again… after several cocktails. smiley103

Thank you for your love and support, ladies! I am incredibly blessed to have you in my life and I love you guys!
