Concert Time!

Nostalgia hit hard when I heard that Hootie and The Blowfish and The Bare Naked Ladies were coming to Blossom! They were two of my favorite bands growing up...and they still are! Emily and I went to a BNL concert together about 20 years ago, so of course I wanted to do it again! We also brought Mimi, Kiera and Baby Shapiro (in Em's belly!) along. This was Kiera's second concert (Taylor Swift was her first). We got lawn seats, brought snacks, sang along and had a great time!

Emily's Bridal Shower

When your dear little sister gets married, 
you throw her an epic "Kate Spade-esque" shower!

Matron of Honor and Flower Girl before the shower
 
We had a "brunch and bubbly" shower at One Red Door in Hudson
Our friend Jesse manages the restaurant and he helped to make
the day extra special!
Funny story about the balloons...I asked Kiera and Grandpa to have
the balloons filled for me (I ordered them off Etsy and had them filled
at a party store). Of course, I said, "Be careful...don't let them blow
away!" Wouldn't you know, the "O" slipped out of the knot and 
floated high in the sky. Grandpa Said Kiera started crying. They were 
able to get another "O" from the store, but if you look closely, the gold
color is slightly off!
The tables were decorated with  mason jars dipped in gold glitter filled
with flowers from Heinens and Zinnias from our yard. Each bouquet had
a little paper flag stating "Brunch and Bubbly Cheers to the Future 
Mrs. Shaprio" and matching scrapbook paper confetti.


Each grown up guest went home with a bottle of champagne and
each kid guest went home with a Raspberry New York Seltzer water.
Both adorned with two of my favorite things ever...tulle and paper straws!

We were able to create a custom menu for guests to choose their own meal. 
I chose the Cobb Salad, my fave!
Mimosa Bar!
Mini Dessert Bar!
Mrs. Shapiro to be enjoying her bubbly

Flashing my biggest smile showing how happy I am at 
how everything came together! Couldn't have done it without
the fam's help!
Irene, our hairdresser growing up, sat with us at the "main table" and
some people thought she was Paul's mom, lol!

Easter 2016

We started our Easter celebration on Saturday because Em and Paul were in town. No celebration is complete without a doggie photo shoot and Hazel and Brooke did not disappoint! On Easter Sunday, we went to Amy's house since this may be their last holiday in their current house as they are moving. The weather was so beautiful that we spent most of the day outside. 



Cousins!

Easter Morning! Kiera's basket was nestled in the guest
room pillows. Also note her pajamas...her favorite jimmies
are Dave's t-shirts!


The best Easter gift of all...a beautiful, 70 degree day!
Cousins!
What happened to Kiera's Easter dress? 




Lots of love for Brooke when we got home!
