What I've Been Up To

Hey everyone,
Once again I've been MIA for almost a month...it's been such a busy but amazing month for us and I have lots to report on!

My Dad and his fiancee came down to visit us in middle of April. We got to celebrate my Dad's birthday and my engagement:o)



Dad had not been to DC since he was a kid so we showed him all around the city seeing all the major landmarks including Georgetown Cupcakes!





(hummingbird cupcake was to die for)

Then at the end of April my Mom, brother, sister, stepdad, grandparents and very close family friends came down to visit all together! We celebrated EVERYONE'S birthdays and our engagement once again (it will never get old!).



My mom's mom gave me my something old to wear for my wedding day, a tiara that both she and my mom wore on their special day. I will be replacing the veil to a much less conservative and non-poofy style but the actual tiara brought tears to my eyes. So special!


(excuse the hair-it was one of those air dry kind of days!)

Nick and I celebrated Easter just the two of us, which made it kind of fun. It was really hard being away from my great big family for the holiday but I still managed to make a ham and all the other foods my Mom-Mom makes! Oh, and my apron made an appearance again!



(obviously I don't make my bed on Easter lol!)



Easter cupcakes I made

Here's a sneak peek of some of our engagement pics (which I will post in a separate post):







And finally, as you all know, I was up and ready to watch the royal wedding at 3:30 am! I made scones, princess cupcakes and mimosas and tea of course!









My royal headband I made!



My friend and I even wore cocktail rings to represent Dianas!



Kate looked STUNNING, she just left me speechless. And obviously William, in red? Wow, again, speechless.

And...



The kiss:o) glad I caught that one on tape!
