Growing Like a Weed

This little beauty is growing so quickly! It's a joy to see her change everyday and we are so thankful to share in watching her grow with all our family and friends. She has such a fun personality and I love to see it flourish! She thinks she is a big girl and that she can do everything on her own. I'm so blessed to spend my days with her. 

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower

Not only is my little sister about to be married, but she has trusted me to be her MOH! I'm so excited for this role on her big day but also excited to get to be a part of planning all her showers and bachelorette festivities! 

My co MOH (my baby sister) and the bridesmaids and I all got together and through an awesome Shabby Chic inspired bridal shower! 

In the past we have always done all our showers, with one exception, at the bank in the training room, but for this shower we held it at the Thorntown Library. It was very nice and it is free for rent to library cardholders. 

We had a big dessert bar, and I even made the cake! I am not a cake maker by any means but I have made a few cakes and they have all turned out pretty good. 

Because my sister LOVES chocolate, we had a chocolate fountain and even a chocolate tower for everyone to enjoy! 

The shower went great and we all enjoyed getting to celebrate the soon to be Mrs Hiland!! 13 more days! 

Bachelorette Bash/Beer Olympics

I have the privilege of being the MOH for my sister Chelseas big day! I can't believe that in just 13 days she will be Mrs Hiland! It seems like such a long time coming, since they have been together for the last 11 years. 

I'm so thankful I get to stand up with her along with my baby sister Michaela. All of us bridesmaids came together and through a very sweet shower and bachelorette bash honoring Chelsea! 

My sister has such special friends who all get to celebrate in her wedding festivities.

Our first of 3 events was the Bachelorette Bash which was a night out on the town. We started out the night at the hotel, which my sisters friends had gotten to earlier to decorate. It looked perfect! They did not go lightly on the "penis" attire.

We left there to go to Hard Rock Cafe where we enjoyed dinner and drinks. Then back to the hotel for games, gifts and photo booth! 

The following day was Beer Olympics at Chelsea and Aaron's house. We had a volleyball tourney, Big Brother inspired relay game, "fundies" race, egg toss, and many drinking games, which made up the beer Olympics.

We had a score board and for each event teams were drawn and then the winning teams were awarded a certain number of points to determine the winners of the beer Olympics!  

The event was complete with trophies that I made from beer cans and alcohol bottles. 

Needless to say the winners were SUPER excited to have won their titles! (Some feeling very patriotic as well) 

I think it's safe to say the Bachelorette weekend was a HUGE success!!
