Weekend Goodness- Pat and Emily Edition

This was from Tuesday, but it goes with the wedding theme so here it is :)
The finished bottom layer of the cake! 

Rehearsal dinner!
Delicious food, lots of family, and a bundle of excited for the upcoming day.

I was on baby duty during the ceremony while these two little ones' parents were in the wedding.
They are probably the cutest babies yet.
And will be such good cousins for my little one :) 

Me and the handsome best man (who's speech was wonderful, by the way). 

The cake that my sister-in-law, Elizabeth, made.
It turned out beautifully! 

The tables looked lovely!

I always forget to take as many pictures as I want to. . . this is one of the few I got of the bride and groom. 

I got a shout-out on the menu :) 

And my mom is awesome.
I called her earlier in the day in a stressed-out panic.
She picked up dog food for Maggie and Nella, let them out for us, cleaned our kitchen, put our fish in a new bowl, and got me a couple of treats. 

It was such a busy week! Between cake frosting, last minute dress shopping (which was way more stressful than it should have been), and general life things, I didn't have time for blog updates.  But the cake turned out great- and got lots of compliments! My bump is just a little too big for most regular clothes and a little too small for most maternity clothes. . . After going to target, kohls, old navy, tj max, a bunch of stores at two different malls, I finally found a dress at H&M!  The wedding was beautiful, the food at the reception was tasty, the cake was delicious :) , and I got to talk with a bunch of people I don't get to see often enough. Now onto a couple days of school and then a short (but much needed) break for Thanksgiving!
