Five Peas in a Pod: Busy weekend!

What a busy and fun weekend! On Friday night we headed to Snohomish (about 1.5 hours away) for Emmalee and Robert's wedding. What a beautiful celebration! The wedding started at 6pm - on the way there Nelia was really fussy. However, once we got to the wedding she was happy as can be! She was amazing during the ceremony and we stayed at the reception until 9:30pm (that is two hours past her bedtime). She was such a happy girl - loved all the people, the kids running around, and the music. We changed her into her pjs before we drove home and she fell asleep almost immediately. We had a successful transfer to her crib when we got home too:) Congrats again Emmalee and Robert - we hope you are enjoying the Jamaican sun:)

Saturday morning I woke up at 6am (well, Nelia woke me up). I fed her, showered, and ran a few errands before heading to Brysann's house for her baby shower. I co-hosted the shower with my friend Julie. We had such a blast planning the shower and it seemed like Brysann had a wonderful time.

Diaper cake that I made from Nelia and I:)

Yummmm....cupcakes!

I had so much fun making these shower favors

The feast!

We are so excited to meet baby Stella, who is due to arrive April 29th (but Brysann hopes she arrives sooner). I have predicted April 25th:)

After the shower I headed home, fed Nelia, and played with her for a few minutes before getting ready for my next party, Bonessfest. One of my really good friends Kim has a big birthday celebration with her brother Casey (they were born on the same day, but two years apart, crazy, huh?). The party is at a club in Seattle. Patrick stayed home with Nelia this year and I headed to the party with some friends that I used to teach with (we all taught at the same school). We had a great time - 1/2 price drinks, we got to listen to Casey's band Radumus, did some dancing, and just hung out. We didn't leave until a little after midnight! That is a really late night for me. By the time we drove home and I got ready for bed, it was 2am! It was really hard getting up at 6am on Sunday to feed Nelia!
