A Surprise Ending..

They started off the night as an engaged couple at an engagement party and ended the night as married, Mr and Mrs.

So it was a surprise to most people attending the engagement party but the family knew they were gettin' hitched about a week ago. This weekend has been a whirlwind and a celebration of many sorts. Henry and Laulie's wedding weekend started off with catered mexican at Henry's house. Delicious food was enjoyed by all the family, both sides. The Morgan clan got to meet her family -brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, aunts, nieces, nephews. It was fun to meet her family and to see where she came from. They are a sweet addition to the family (or we are a crazy addition to her family...we will leave it somewhere in the middle). Saturday I baked with a friend all morning (5 hr to be exact) for a baby shower I was hosting with 2 other co-workers on Sunday. So it was baking to the extreme (we baked oreo balls, cookies on a stick, and brownie pops). After baking I showered up and we all met at the house where the engagement party was for a little run-through on the wedding (surprise!) and family pictures. We stood up on the balcony while Henry, Laulie, and John (friend who married them) stood on the front stairs. I dont want to see pics from the ceremony bc i boo-hoo'd the whole time--im sure those will be real pretty. Nothing like red eyes, tears, snot, and a red face to make some pretty wedding pictures. It was sweet and it was fun to watch peoples expression as they announced there were about to become Mr and Mrs. Some of their closest friends did not know so I zoned in on them to watch for fun expressions. After the party we went to Sevy's which is a nice steak restaurant here in dallas. It was just Henry, Laulie, and the kids. She has two daughters so its now a total of 8!

I kinda feel like the brady brunch on these mugs below.

:)

As we walked into the private room at Sevy's we found these cute mugs at all our place settings in addition to prayer/devotion book with our names on them. Such sweet gestures.

Ty even made the mug! Sweet Tybuds! Henry encouraged us to pray for each member on the mug when we drink from it. I think tybuds needs some prayers for good behavior :)

The rest of the family.

Laulie's daughters, Francesca and Bailey.

These are some of the products Karyn and I baked (and wreaths) on saturday before the wedding.

I made this wreath to go over the mirror in the dining room at the shower. A yarn wreath-so fun and adds a good touch to the baby shower decor.

I made this burlap wreath for the front door for the baby shower. I think I might just keep it up for a little while to enjoy. It looks cuter on the door hung up properly :)

The cookies I made with a B for Baby Barraco. They turned out cute.

Oreo balls Karyn made--so cute and so so yum! We put all the fun baked goods in mason jars filled with pink and white gumballs, a cute touch for a baby girl shower!

I didnt take any more pics of the baby shower but hopefully Ill get them from a friend soon.
