Back from the East Coast!

Wow, those two weeks flew by! I have much to share...all in good time! 

We managed to get our annual picture on the Hershey Bar!! 

My Brother's wedding flew by...like all weddings do! Here is a sneak peek from the photographer, Elaine Gates Photography.

I'm so super excited to see the rest! I just had to share a picture
of my brother and I rocking out during the reception...its priceless! 

I am excited to share with all of you pictures from the dinner rehearsal and the center pieces I created! Just trying to get unpacked and catch up on some much needed sleep!!!
Congrats too all who tied the knot June 11th!!  

One last picture to end the post... Our Kingston floating on his raft...

enjoying the beautiful day! Oh he is constantly amazing me!

We had an excellent trip back home!

2nd Anniversary!

Okay, so I'm one day late...oopps! 

Wow, did those two years fly by.... seriously! The Husband and I have a mini getaway planned for next week when we return back to the East Coast! We will be heading to Philadelphia for a photo shoot with the talented Amanda from SwoonOverIt! (Super excited to meet her!)

I also let my Husband know that we need to add to our collection... (look below) maybe a chocolate syrup bottle would look nice along side our chocolate bar? Make it a fun little ritual...Chocolate World! We will see! We don't have anything big planned like last year..maybe for our 3 year we will be living in our OWN house back on the East Coast? :) Then we can throw a nice party.. hmmm!!!

We have definitely grown a whole bunch these past two years! I am so looking forward to the next couple and what it has in store for us! And to end this post... some lovely wedding hoopla pictures!!

Creative Button Bouquets!

Do you follow Make Mine a Mohito? Well they recently had a photo session for their two year anniversary! How cute right? In several of their pictures she was holding a color fabric/button bouquet and so I had to see where I could get my hands on one!

A 2 year anniversary photo shoot sounds like a perfect idea!
I have been inspired!!

Part 2 Anniversary!

So, on Sunday May 30th, our first anniversary..we spent the entire day pool side at my parents house. We were originally going to spend the day in NYC but after soo much traveling we decided to just relax and slow down. The sun was out in full force and we couldn't have asked for better weather. We also got to spend time with my other dog Eli Mae, who I had to leave with my Parents in PA..I just couldn't take her away from her backyard...So we had a little reunion as well! She LOVES to swim..

 The day flew by and it was time for dinner...we made reservations but decided to cancel them..we were exhausted from the sun! So, we ate at the house and pulled out our wedding cake!! It tasted so good! hmm lemon and vanilla..  :)

You can tell in the picture below how sun'd out I am!! I would have loved to have thrown on some makeup but I was just exhausted from our pool day! I was completely relaxed :)

 Once we rested, the Husband recommended that we get out of the house for a little and spend some time together. We were on the same page! So, where do we go where we are so super happy like two little kids? Hershey!!! We drove over to Chocolate World and had a blast! I somehow talked him into getting our picture taken on a chocolate bar! Paper is a traditional 1st anniversary gift!  Take a look....

It wasn't at all what we planned but in the end it turned out to be the perfect day for our 1st anniversary! 

Anniversary Picnic

This past Monday was filled with so much fun! We invited tons of friends and family for an anniversary picnic. It felt so good to be around my friends from home..It was also an opportunity to meet their children! It is so hard to believe that my friends...who I went to college with are parents!

Of course, I had a cake and cupcakes to assist in celebrating our 1 year anniversary! 

Jasmine, from Couture Cakery created this beautiful cake for us! I gave her one of our wedding invitations...and well, results speak for themselves! It was very yummy :) And, I had to have some cupcakes for the kids! So, I thought of Jessica's post (Tying the Knot) and created some flags at the last minute. Of course my parent's printer was not able to print colored ink...so I used scrapbook paper to give a little design in the background. But, now I know how to make them and how cute the results can be!

Isn't he is very photogenic! He thought the cupcakes were yummy :)

And if you are wondering if we had some of our actual wedding cake...OF COURSE! We did that on our anniversary..which was Sunday :) May 30th! I will post some pics of that tomorrow... Here are some pictures of two adorable little ladies!

The day flew by and it was so hard to say goodbye...

One day we will be back East with all of our family & friends...till then we will keep throwing picnics & parties! I hope you all had a good memorial day with all of your special ones...It was great having one of our dear friends back with us from over seas...home & safe! 

1st Anniversary!

I will be back with more posts this week! We are still back east with family and friends!
