Hey guys! What a super fabulous weekend I had! Full of fun and glamourous things!
Lets start with a fun night at our fav, Las Fajitas! I swear my family eats at this place more than ANYONE! : )
Friday night was my besties Birthday! She wanted to go dancing and dress all cowgirlish… so what asked was done : ) I got a super cute outfit, grabbed my cowboy boots and got dolled up for a fun night. We first met up with her super fun parents at Mojitos. It was delish and we had a blast! Then we had a fun night out dancing it up. I was actually sore the next day! CRAZY! I absolutely adore Kristy and my friendship. She is the best!
Saturday was our Minks and Drinks party! My mom has been wanting to do a sit down dinner at her house for MONTHS. So I thought of the minks and drinks idea. Everyone wore their faux furs and brought gloves for the local homeless shelter. We had SO SO much fun. Lots of details too. I got some faux fur for the middle under the gorgeous candelabra my sister had. Then I added fur muffs to the martini glasses that had the chopped salads in them. I also already had mini mink coats from my glamour tree so we hung them on the glasses on the table. We had menus printed up, place settings on diamond holders, and little lipsticks for everyone. The food was DIVINE! My mom made a yummy chopped salad, I got some pasta from a local spot, Rachel out did her self with the dessert bar- homemade toffee bark, oreo truffles, red velvet cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries. AND she made creme brulee! SO good. I also made a french martini punch that turned out incredible (the recipe is on a picture below).
It was a blast sitting around, eating delicious food and chatting all night. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous too. I took tons of pics… enjoy!
Sunday kristy and I got up, did a little shopping and had lunch together. Then I had to rest up as much as i could because my niece, nephew and step brother were coming over for a sleepover. This weekend was JAM packed! They came over around 4, and we immediately headed over to Orange leaf for some Fro Yo. Then headed home to watch some movies and cook up a big Chinese meal. I also got these confetti sticks at the store and let the kids go wild with them. LET ME TELL YOU, that was kinda not a smart decision. We had to pick up 600 2 inch pieces of paper. haha. BUT the loud eruption of giggles was worth it. They thought it was the coolest. : ) We stayed up late, drank lots of dr pepper, ate lots of junk and had a blast!
owen didnt want Chinese he wanted hotdogs : )
tried to put a blanket down to help… it didnt haha
Today I was off work for the MLK holiday so I spent with my mom and sis shopping it up for my sisters bday this weekend. I CANT WAIT! We have been having so much fun already this year. we are VERY blessed!
Hope you guys had a great weekend. I am about to go workout, watch the bachelor and then BED!!! Have a great week XOXO!
The minks, the sleepover, the outfits! I love it all! Adorable!
