in honor of chicken little

This past Saturday we held Kat's "Chicken Little is Coming!" baby shower. Kat looked just GREAT and everyone is so excited for Kat and PJ - and not to mention the mounting excitement over finally meeting Chicken Little. Here are a few photos of the lovely event...

these are the party favors (i stole the idea from becce,
she made bags like this for my baby shower - too cute)


these are the cookies we made to fit in with the theme -
they tasted as good as they looked (shout out going
to carrie for baking these guys)


more desserts (these cupcakes are delicious, here's the recipe)

allison, patterson and kat chit chat

here's cutie pie lila

ooh, and another cutie pie - megan

a shot of the room (please notice the flag garland -
i made it myself and it was adorable squared)


carrie posing

Once I saw this photo, another photo of Carrie flashed in my head due to the same exact pose (minus the footed pajamas). I just had to share...

this photo never gets old for me

OK, back to the shower...

here is our beloved shonnie bear

yes, lottie sue was there to "help"

allison, kat, anya and brit (she is also having a baby, whee!)

I should get more photos from the other camera there so I'll share with you later. Here are some shots of the behind-the-scenes action.

we all decorated the cookies, these were part of the goody bags

these cookies were out for the shower, they were so delicious

and here we have carrie icing her cupcakes

we made tie-dye onsies for chicken little

The onsies really faded after I washed them, but we sure had fun making them. We had fun doing everyting really, we love Kat so much and are so thrilled for her! Yay! We have just about one month left until he's here, I seriously cannot wait!

chicken little is soooooo cute & croissants

Kat sent these photos out the other day of Chicken Little - how cute is he?!?!?! I can't wait to meet him, he'll be here in December!

oh boy!

I love Fall! I love Fall! The weather is so perfect right now and we have Thanksgiving around the corner followed by Christmas. I love this time of year! Look at what Lottie Sue drew (or I guess fingerprinted for you) for your enjoyment...

one day this will be worth millions

And I took this photo of Lottie Sue this morning, our artist chewing on a lint remover.

it looks like she's dressed for a flood

Changing the subject: Perfect for those warm holiday mornings, I give you the best croissants in the world by Williams Sonoma. I think Becce saw them on Oprah (the favorite things episode) a few years ago and she turned us on to them. They are not cheap, but are so very worth it. I suggest the mini croissants, buy a few lovely jams and good butter and you have a little piece of heaven. We have them on Christmas mornings and it's such a delight.

A few other notes of interest...
  • Here's a Q&A with the curator of the punk-rock auction at Christie's.
  • Here's an interview with Paul Rudd - he's one of my favorites...
  • Lost returns on January 21st! I know that's a long time away but still...
  • I HATE the Saved by Zero commercials. It seems like I'm not the only one. And it's not just that I hate the song, it's that it is on about 1,000 times a day on every channel. I can't escape it. Ugh.
I'm currently scanning in old photos from my grandparents, these are of my cousins Melinda and Michael. They look the same! Michael has a little girl Campbell (and a boy Russell) that looks just like him. EXACTLY! I'm posting a photo of her as well so you can see how much they look alike.

here is michael as a little boy...

and this is campbell (last christmas) - it's so neat how much they look alike

I also found this gem of Michelle and Matt from the 80s. Lookin GOOD!

they both look the same today

This photo is Tyler and Witne (my cousins as well), I'm not sure when this was taken but it's not that old. Isn't our family full of handsome people?

smiles and a bear hug, good stuff

This is the only photo I have of the game on Saturday. My battery was dead, I thought it was charged but no.

even though we lost, us girls looked cute at least

OK, I hope this is the beginning of a great week for everyone. Peace.
