Party People

Let's get real: Monday's suck, especially after a fun weekend!  So let's get nostalgic & do a weekend recap.
Friday: Friday night I had the house to myself, which I haven't had in a while.  I had to do some baking so I thought it would be nice to do while I was alone.  Well, I went baking crazy!  I made 36 cupcakes & 2 types of frosting in under 2 hours.  It was like a speed baking marathon!

I made gluten free red velvet cupcakes & cream cheese frosting, & then I made regular yellow cupcakes & chocolate frosting.  We had blue starred cupcake wrappers with red & white cupcakes: hello patriotic!  They made a huge hit & I will be sharing the frosting recipes soon.

Saturday:

Party day!  Saturday was my younger sister's graduation party, so we got a huge tent, some super yummy food, some fun adult beverages, & had a bunch of people over.  The party was a blast.  The food was delicious, we had sausage & peppers, balsamic chicken, cavatelli & broccoli, penne vodka, salad, & semolina rolls.  Hello Italian masterpieces!  I was a fail & didn't take too many pictures because I was having so much fun.  It was great to chat with people I hadn't seen in a while.  My parents good friend's parents came to the party who are so sweet, they are a little older maybe in their 80s, the wife is so cute & a little fashionista, well she decided she was going to make some new friends & was hitting on my sister's guy friends, it was the funniest thing ever.  Well, here are some of the pictures I did manage to take:

The giant tent.

Coolest ballon I've ever seen.  My sister's college's slogan is 'Big Fish, Little Pond' & their color is red, so this was perf.

My adult bev of choice.

My pretty sister & me.  I wore a black romper I got at Nordstrom BP. section, & Steve Madden, pink sandals with gold chain detailing.

  

Poor little Coco had a bit of a traumatizing day.  First, she was terrified of the tent, then she had to go to the groomer, then she hated the ballons & then she was very overwhelmed with all the people.  She was so exhausted when everyone left!

Sunday:

Sunday was our day to chill.  I wanted to hang out with my mom because I'm trying to spend as much time with my family as I can before I go back to school.  My mom & I did a little shopping, & then had some fro yo for lunch!

Then we hung out, watched some TV, & ate some left overs from the party.  This was a much, much better day for Coco, & a great ending to the weekend.

What did you do this weekend?
