One Heck of a Party

Hellllo out there. I have re-entered the personal blogging scene solely to document one heck of a party.
Right now I am exactly seven months and 3 weeks with child, which equals 35 weeks, which is kind of a big deal (at least to me). Around this time of baby growing, if you're lucky a good friend will throw a bash to celebrate the future arrival of your lil' peanut. And my older, wiser, and much cooler sister, Tenille, did just that. The walls of Facebook erupted with praise when the first pictures of this epic event were posted, because it was just that, epic. It's being described as "Pinterest-worthy", "Intense", "Very cute", "Perfect!" and "Beautiful". Serious. All direct quotes there. Although I personally wasn't able to take any photos, I've rounded up some of the best shots from the party, so you can see the evidence for yourself, and I am sure you will agree that it fits all of the previous praise it received. Enjoy!

My mom and sister made these delectable bath bombs for party favors, and they are awesome. 

My mom did all of the flower arranging. She has mad skills. 

Every single one of those desserts were to die for. Like, for real.

I promise there were more than five of us, but I'd hate to post a picture of someone who didn't want it posted, especially since most of the shots I have are pretty candid and mostly of people eating... ;)

See what I mean. It was just the best combination of succulents, arrows, foxes, flowers, and teepees around. So, thanks Tenille for making it a day to remember. Above all, I just so appreciate everyone who helped welcome baby Smith-he is already so loved. The support and love that was shown really just means the world to Brandon and myself-so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

A little recap.

Remember when I said I was going to do another post that included all the rest of our super cute Christmas decorations? Well, as you can tell that never happened. Instead just the other day I took a picture of me putting them away. Sad day. But, our Christmas holiday was quite fantastic. From the very beginning when we celebrated my birthday all the way up until yesterday. For a week of that Brandon and I traveled to the valley of the sun to spend some quality time with my side of the family. See, I would tell you about all of these splendid adventures but Brandon got me a lovely Nikon DSLR camera for Christmas and a fancy iPhone for my birthday, that also takes some pretty great photos so I figured some pictures would better communicate the fun times we've had!
Enjoy!

A little before we left Idaho Brandon spent some time holding his nephew Logan.

Our arrival, what a strange place compared to Idaho!

All aboard!

Almost all the family there! Except Seth...that little punk.

A happy little family excited to ride the train.

That little girl likes to explore.

Precious, yes?

My padres super excited to board the train.

Ho Ho Ho!

So obviously these aren't quite in the right order. I blame this blasted blogger system. But, you get the picture. We had a grand time! Now I need to torture the Smith side with my camera so they can make an appearance in the next post.

Hopefully your holidays were as splendid as ours were!
