friends from as far away as LA, st louis and chicago all made the trip to help celebrate the baby mama's party.
the party was hosted by myself, beaver and muffin and was held at muffin's home in lakewood. it was catered by duet's (which i highly recommend) and was an evening cocktail party shower (which i recommend even higher).
night time showers for both bridal and baby are the way to go, i'm a huge fan. at least when the shower is at night you kinda have an excuse for drinking a bottle of wine in an hour and a half.
i know i have mentioned before on this blog that i'm ridiculously lucky in that i have the most wonderful group of friends. friends that i can count on for anything - people that share and celebrate all the major events in our lives.
we're all pretty lucky to have each other.
at dinner at brio on friday foxxy brought up the idea that we should all watch some of the home videos from college and after the wine, presents, and dinner we decided to do just that.
let's just say my stomach hurts from laughing so hard.
the videos we were watching were from september 2001, i.e. a loooooooooong friggin time ago. it was a combination of a dream and a nightmare for all of us watching the videos whose general theme was "you think you know, but you have no idea" - dear lord.
late night parties, karaoke to enrique, 21st birthday celebrations at tim's, card tricks, binge drinking, school projects, college, college and more college.
my next goal is to convert these videos to DVD, edit and share them. they are just too good to keep to ourselves.
but officially after watching these videos none of us could ever run for public office.
good times, good times.
MOB's nailed it!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy did that give me the urge to try to make the Muffin face?
ReplyDeleteLOL the muffin face is awesome. The showers looked fun, I think you guys really did a great job.
ReplyDeleteBabys mamas mamas.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I feel very lucky to have all of the Dayton girls! Thanks for recapping Lexi Poo!
ReplyDeleteI love the "Purple teeth are better than white teeth" tag
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the party! It looks like you all had a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteAAAwww..love girlfriends!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you may actually wear more black than my mother - and THAT?! That's a damn feat.
ReplyDeleteYou and your friends always look so lovely in pictures. Good thing, since I swear that camera is a growth out of your hand! hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI think this evening trend with alchohol would definatly spice up a shower. You can really like someone, but hate sittting at church for hours watching people open gifts. Dread.
ReplyDeleteNow, someone needs to get married so I can start this as a tradition!
Wait people flew in from out of state to attend a baby shower?!?! Wow! I avoid going to baby showers when they are in the same city as me.
ReplyDeleteI can only hear girls say "oh my god so cute" so many times.
Wow...that's a whole lotta estrogen I coulda pissed off. Glad I was unaware!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a freakin awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteCan I give my friend's your number so they know how to throw a baby shower?
ReplyDeleteI'm serious.
They wanted to throw me a baby shower brunch with egg caserole.
Who eats egg caserole?
I bet Enrique's career is only alive because of karoake.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute.
ReplyDeleteAm I getting this right?
A baby shower at night with drinking?
How is that fun for the pregnant lady?
It sounds like you have a great group of friends!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a night time shower but I like the idea of it.
I'm with Kristen on this one. Drinking, at night, seems okay for a bridal shower, but not for a baby shower.
ReplyDeleteI too am a HUGE fan of alcohol at showers. My sister's baby shower went on until 4am!! Wouldn't have it any other way.
ReplyDeleteglad to know my friends and I aren't the only ones who videotaped ourselves in college.
ReplyDeleteI told B this weekend that the ONLY reason I'm not President of this nation is because of my affinity for belching in public. I'm pretty sure that's it.
ReplyDeletei LOVE that it's called a baby mamma party. heh.
ReplyDeletealso: dude. i know preggers women can't drink and all, but there's no way i'm subjecting my friends to a baby shower one day without giving them some alcohol to help them through it.
Was tina Fey there?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the idea of hosting Bridal and Baby Showers in the evening -- next time I'm in charge, I'll keep this in mind ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd, if arrangements aren't able to be made for an evening soiree, there will most definitely be mimosas and bloody mary's flowing during the (otherwise dull) brunch*
xo,
Kelly
you and your friends are adorable, and i like big pete's HOH.
ReplyDeletei went to a night time shower this weekend... a wedding shower, but still. getting drunk was on the agenda.
seriously love your weekend, as always. and your group of friends is great, definitely reminds me of my friends, i always feel so lucky to have them.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad I missed it! :(
ReplyDeleteOMG I love this. Baby Mamma party. Seriously I need to borrow this idea for a shower. LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't shower any other way! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI hate babies.
