LARRY J'S EAGLE COURT

went off without a hitch.  A huge thank you to family and friends who helped. 
One down and three more to go.  By the time Lach is an Eagle Scout, it will be a breeze - ha!

Larry J's been an Eagle since October, so it was nice to finally celebrate him and make it officially official.  Although it was Super Bowl Sunday, we had a great turn out. 
It was a fun night celebrating our boy.  How can you go wrong with hug and high-fives, chit-chat, refreshments and a little helium?

BEACHY WONDERLAND

Saturday night my sister-in-law's mom, Ardith, turned a church gym into a beachy wonderland for a wedding reception.  It was gorgeous!

My sister-in-law, Erica, sister of the bride, made the beautiful wedding cake - photo 3b.

Ardith made all the incredible cookies.  I was so impressed with all the detail.  No doubt, she was baking for weeks.

My other sister-in-law, Sarah, and I made the cupcakes.
-Chocolate peanut butter with a chocolate ganache center and peanut butter icing
-Lemon with a lemon curd center and swiss meringue
-Red velvet with a chocolate ganache center and mascapone icing

My favorite cupcake on the table was the lemon.  They looked like dollops of sea foam.

Absolutely gorgeous reception.  It's all in the details.  We're so happy for Jackie and John!
