October-polooza!

After a wonderful trip in September...we couldn’t get enough of California we had to head back for another dose. One of my close cousins Emily is pregnant with her second and is expecting a baby boy! YAY! We're so happy for the Harris family! Their first boy, Fisher is a sweet and lovable amazing kid! Emily decided to fly down from Idaho just to have her baby shower. I was thrilled to attend and be a part of the festivities. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to show off some of my baking skills and present the dessert bar! Okay, well I sort of insisted on doing the dessert bar. The shower was hosted by my other cousins Angela Brigford and Andrea Wiggins. These two gals are a force to be reckoned with. Their skills in the kitchen totally match their decorating style! Fabulous job girls!

Here are some of the pictures from the amazing shower.

I was really pleased with the outcome!

My cousin Andrea was not only the co-host but also was the official photographer! Her pictures are amazing and she is a talented photographer! Check out her work at http://www.andreagenephotography.com/

Here are some of the AMAZING pictures she took~

 the food was AMAZING! All homemade!

 

It was amazing trip and we can't wait for the next one.  It's always nice to see our family in California but sometimes 6 hours just seems a bit too far!
