Disneyland 2012

Shout-out to my work who pays for us to go every year! It was a good time, as usual, but even more so because it was the least crowded it has EVER been.  It was awesome, we were just walking on rides for the most part because everyone was at Cars Land (which is pretty neat, btw).  Disneyland to me is overdosing on Mint Juleps and cotton candy.  I did just the thing and it was heavenly.  Till next year!

Over the Hills!!!

So my parents went over the hill this month, and are now 50.  What a bunch of oldies :)  With my dad living in California, we couldn't celebrate with him as much as we'd like to.  I made him a cake when he was in town a couple weeks before, but now it was my mom's turn!  She loves all things French, so I just had a dinner party with our family which was semi-French Country themed.  It was fun, but let me just say, I will never make a Croquembouche ever again.  Hardest trial of my life.  And we like to take awkward family photos, it's whatevs.

Becca's Baby Shower

Earlier this month we threw a shower for one of my good friends, Becca.  It was so much fun and Alyssa's mom was freaking amazing.  She pretty much threw most of the shower and she wasn't even there- skills.  So many people helped and it turned out to be a super fun night!  It was so fun to catch up with people I haven't seen in ages and celebrate the upcoming arrival of Becca's little girl!

Birthday Boy

This weekend we celebrated ma maaannnnnnn.  Which means that this weekend was pretty low key because that's his style :).  We did all of his favorite things: played a little bit of putt putt because I would be a miserable partner if we were to play real golf lol, played games with friends, hung out with family, ate some chocolate pie, hit up Mickey D's, tried a new restaurant (Yayo Taco), and ate his favorite milkshakes.  It was such a great weekend!  I just  love him so much, he's seriously the best.

One Lovely Year

Yesterday, we celebrated our one year anniversary!  This year has been a blast and we have learned so much.  Here's to one year and forever more!  

Love you, Brendan!!! 

Birthday Stuff

My birthday weekend was uhhhmazing. I have the greatest people in my life and they do such a great job of letting me know that I'm loved so thank you everyone who made it extra fantastic (you know who you are).  With so much family in so many different places it was hard to get everyone together so it was more of a staggered birthday celebration.  We went to the Peppermill, anyone who knows me knows that's my number one.  It's totally a necessary component for any birthday festivity for me (minus the part where my mother insisted the staff sing Happy Birthday and ended the song by screaming "Happy Birthday, Katie!!!!!!!!!! WoOoOoO" at the top of her lungs AT the restaurant, not at me hahaha love that lady).  Then Brendan took me to lunch at Max Brenner's! Deeeeelish.  Best croquettes you'll ever taste and they have popsicle fondue.  Yes, popsicle fondue.  We're basically obsessed.

Surprise!

I threw a tiny surprise party for one my best friends the other day and Tal was in love with the balloons.  Pretty sure she had more fun than her mom did!  Happy birthday, Destiny!

Littles

The Olympic trials have been a bit of an inspiration to us over here.  Especially the swimming.  They make it look so easy!  It's definitely not and we have made it a goal to start swimming more.  These little guys have been swimming fiends as of late and it's been so fun.  Here's to summer and the Olympics in 17 days!!!!
