Wonderful Weekend

This was such a fantastic holiday weekend! We kicked it off with a Disco Christmas party on Thursday, complete with disco ball ornaments, holiday songs set to disco rhythms and friends decked out in sparkly clothes. On Christmas Eve, we hosted my husband's parents and had a nice evening relaxing by the fire. And on Christmas we went to church and spent the evening at my parent's house, with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins stopping by as the night went on. And today, my husband and I both have the day off. We're not sure yet what we'll do, but I hope it's something to make the most of this last day of a great long weekend.

How were your holidays? I hope you had a wonderful weekend of your own!

Royal Recap

So did you watch William and Kate exchange vows? I loved the royal wedding and was surprised at how many sweet moments there were amid all the pomp and tradition. I truly hope the newlyweds have a happy life together.

On a much smaller note, my royal wedding party was great fun. I decorated the dining room table with maps and brochures from our most recent trip to London and topped it with plates of muffins, pastries and fruit salad. My girlfriends and I donned pretty rings and tiaras -- even the pup wore a little crown for a moment -- and sat around the living room chatting, eating, sipping coffee, laughing, sharing memories of our own weddings and watching the love story play out on television. It was a perfect way to experience the big day.

Royally Cool

Are you excited about the royal wedding? I am! This is partly because my husband and I share names with the royal couple. Well, I'm Katie and he's Will, but it's pretty close to Kate and William, no? In honor of this coincidence, I'm hosting a royal wedding party on Friday morning. I invited a bunch of girlfriends over for tea, coffee and breakfast treats and to watch the festivities on television. I bought us all sparkly tiaras and plastic rings to make us all feel a little princess-y for the day. It should be fun!

Showers Ahead

I am seriously excited for the weekend ahead. Tomorrow brings a bridal shower for one of my amazing girlfriends. And on Sunday is a baby shower for another wonderful friend. 

I can't wait for hugs, laugher, sharing stories, silly antics, taking pictures and lots of girl talk!

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!
