Busy Bee Saturday

Today was quite eventful! I ended up not going to spin class this morning, which was probably for the best because I would have missed an important work related call (yes, on a Saturday...). I ended up making cupcakes for the family dinner tonight and hung out with my sister when she came back from her grad school visit. She gave me the other half of my crafty presents: more stickers and a set of clear stamps. :)

Two of my cousins came over to drop off birthday gifts because they wouldn't be able to make it to dinner tonight. They recently went to the Harry Potter theme park in Florida and brought us back a chocolate wand and a chocolate frog, like from the movie! So awesome.

This afternoon, I went to my friend Laura's bridal shower. It was hosted by her older sister, who had a lovely house and adorable toddler and giant (but gentle) Great Dane. Laura thought the bridal shower was next weekend, but little did she know that there was a secret plan to have it today. She looked genuinely shocked when she entered the house and eventually saw that it was filled with friends, family, and presents! The event was a tea party, and the hosts definitely hit the theme on the spot. It was nice to see some friends and meet some people in person finally. I caught some amusing moments with my camera: the baby trying on the bridal cap and the cat sneakily playing with the ribbon on the present. Bite, pull, boing.

After the tea party, I came home for the birthday celebration with the family. Mmmm, Italian food, yum! I had borrowed Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian from the library on Friday and watched it tonight with my sister and cousin. Meh, it was okay. I enjoyed the first one a lot more.

Card making will resume tomorrow. :)
