St Patty’s Bunco

I shared photos last time my Chi O alum group had bunco. Thursday night, I was the hostess. I didn’t break my camera out before {friends arrived early} or during {too busy eating, drinking & losing}. So once everyone left, I snapped a few photos of my post-bunco kitchen & den.

Instead of bunco prizes, we do $5 each & as the biggest loser, I got my $5 back. It was such a fun night &, other than what I bought in food, free!

Speaking of food, I tried to keep with green ones since it was St. Patrick’s Day. I made a thrown together spinach artichoke dip served with red peppers, baby carrots & wheat thins. A layered hummus {one layer was green} also served with above. Granny Smith apples with lite caramel dip. I also made sugar cookies {from a bag} topped with green sprinkles. I set little bowls of goldfish, sweet tart gummies, peanut butter M&Ms, cinnamon toffey almonds, & chocolates on the 3 tables. We went through 3 bottles of white wine, pitcher of water, & a 2 liter of diet coke! I do believe a good time was had by all!

I woke up Friday a little tired & maybe slightly hungover. But very happy to have a clean house! Hope you had a very happy St Patty day!

Girls Night Sleepover

Two Saturday nights ago eight of us gathered in Charlotte for a girls night sleepover. We arrived at Jen aka Speed’s house around 6. We immediately dove into the dips & snacks we’d prepared. Kathleen, of the Lusher fame, lived up to her foodie status and made an amazing Mexican layered dip. BA said she was bring Dortitos, she didn’t but I can’t remember what she bought {maybe chips etc to go with K’s dip?!}. Sarah G made brushetta & crack dip. Alethea brought hummus, ranch dip & veggies. Sara made a great spinach dip. Poeiap Sarah made homemade salsa~ oh so spicy & delicious! I brought Nana’s Cheese Straws.

I’m pretty sure we had more alcohol on hand than most frat parties on a Saturday night: Firefly, American Honey, wine (white), wine (red) & more wine (champagne).

Jen made her now famous caramel bars aka better-than-sex bars. We munched on them then refilled our drinks. We laughed as Jen introduced us to XBox Kinet’s dance game. Then took turns dancing too~ so fun & a bit of a workout!

All that dancing meant chillin’ on the floor, checking out & playing on each others’ phones & Jen’s ipad. Then time for more snacks & refills. Oh yeah, remember that sangria? That fruit sounds really good about now!

We talked & laughed & shared funny stories all. night. long. Things might have gotten a little TMI & maybe even what some would consider inappropriate, but not much was held back with this group of friends.

Sarah & BA even attempted to give me camera tips. Don’t blame them for the rough looking ones on here. Firefly + laughing + Suz = blurry photos.

The late night girls. At 3am, everything is funny! Even Suz & her non-stop photo taking, I hope?!

Oh so much fun ladies! Thanks again Jen {& baby Cora} for hostessing us all! Can’t wait to together again in April for the March of Dimes walk if I don’t see y’all before then!

This post is a little late, but better late than never right? Matron of honor Jess & her husband Patrick set up a great party at their neighborhood’s clubhouse filled with great snacks, beer, wine & friends. Kelly & Brett acted as my ride & my dates. Sarah & Mike are the next to get married: this June. Very pregnant Beth & her husband Dave smiled after finally agreeing to this photo.

Can’t wait for y’all’s December wedding!

Beth’s baby shower

This was probably the most upscale baby shower I’ve ever had the chance to attend. That it was celebrating one of my good friends first baby {a girl with a TBA name} made it even more fun! Aren’t those decorations gorgeous?!

Much love and congrats to Beth & her little Jelly Bean. I think all her friends & family had a great time.

The food was delicious, the cupcakes awesomely sweet & the jelly beanie martinis oh so potent & perfectly pink. Beth’s Dad served as quite the bartender & I loved that the martinis were shaken in baby bottles.

We chatted & ooh & ahh’d over all the great gifts. I think she got almost everything from her registry {& I know because I was last minute picking up one more little something to add to my Gymboree owl outfit}.
