We had such a fun time with the HUGE fire, s'mores, cocktails (and beer and wine), and the puppies running around that we didn't come inside until almost 1am! Because of how late it was and the "adult beverages" involved we had planned for them to sleep over and utilize our guest room and newly redone bathroom. And then they could also help set up for the Pampered Chef party the next day! :)
(p.s. I'm sad I didn't take any pics of our Mexican-Bonfire night...but I'm blaming the margaritas)
We woke to Daylight Savings Day. I thought it was 8am and happy to have plenty of time to prep and get ready...little did I know Matt changed the clock the WRONG way and it was actually 10am!!! And people were going to start arriving at 1pm! So needless to say I started to panic and had to work hard at not completely flipping out. I am so fortunate for the amazing help from Matt, my cousin, and his gf. (Matt even ran to the store twice!)
And I made a point to take some pics of the decor before people started digging in. The "theme" was simply Yellow and Green Spring :)
I set out wine glasses for everyone to use for any of the beverages, which were: white and red wines, lemonade with lemons, sprite with limes, and water with frozen cucumber-ice cubes.
I found a cutey idea on Pinterest for cucumber ice cubes: slice cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices, place in muffin tins, fill with water and freeze...tada cucumber ice cubes! Perfect for keeping water cold and giving it a yummy cucumber taste...I've been sipping on it since the party :)
We cleaned up the kitchen island for the P-Chef lady to use as the demo area. It was such a fun party and I'm sooo honored that 17 ladies (and 3 guys, Matt hosted a guys get together downstairs) gave up some of their beautiful Sunday afternoon to spend with me. There were a bunch of laughs and some good catching up, can't wait to deliver their orders and see them again!
