BFF Post- From Bachelorette Party to Wedding to Mini-Moon in Vegas!

When your best friend gets engaged a lot goes through your head. Most importantly are the plans for the bachelorette party, of course. Well, I have to say that us bridesmaids pulled it off...we had a fabulous suite at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. Hilary looked amazing, especially with the addition of the white veil and flashing light necklace!

We three have been friends since Middle School!
The whole gang before things got fuzzy and I lost my trench coat. I love how Hilary is in the back in this picture. I kept telling her, "This is MY day Hilary. It's not about you- it's about ME!" She still kept trying to get into all the pictures!

The Bridal Shower...it was a 1920's theme. I got the memo but I'm not sure anyone else did. I pulled out all my Gatsby gear for this event...Hilary was more bombshell 40s but she looked HOT. Work it, girl!

Then there was the rehearsal and dinner following...look how excited they both are! Tomorrow's the big day!

Hair and Makeup on the BIG DAY...can I just say we had so much fun?! Hanging out in a hotel room with your best friends and getting pampered...Here is the BEFORE pic:

...and the AFTER:

Here are a few pics from getting ready in the bridal suite at the church...

Hilary was stunning...

Ugg boot sistahs!

...our little friend, Don...

Hilary's "something borrowed" was my garter from my wedding day...I was so happy to pass it on to my BFF!

Hilary's daddy...

After the wedding it was on to Vegas! Chris and I flew up there to party with them so they wouldn't be alone (we are so selfless that way!)

Obligatory douche pose in room...

At dinner at Tao. You know how we roll! Our friend Don joined us for most of the evening.

And the last night in Vegas for some drinks at the New York, New York Hotel.

We love you, Hilary and Alex! Thank you for letting us be a part of your wedding celebration. Not only was it meaningful but we had so much fun! We can't wait to see what the next chapter of your life holds! Love, Aly & Chris (and Don)

Sisters!

Oatmeal Bonanza!

Cousins!

I am so glad we get to see these guys grow up together...they have so much fun! Dean is such a fun little guy already that I just know they have so many fun years to come playing together...

...And Kaylee Breaks Leg.

Yes, we have 2 kids in casts at the same time. Unbelievable! Poor little Kaylee took a little stumble and twisted her foot real bad ending up with a "toddler fracture" of her tibia and fibula. I actually had thought she hurt her head or something and called 9-1-1! Luckily she was ok...but soon we found she wouldn't crawl or try to stand or walk. After some visits to the urgent care and x-rays we found that she did have a fracture.

When I brought Kaylee home from her casting appointment Kendall ran over and said, "Oh Kaylee, you have a cast! It's so cute!!" What a sisterly bond!

Now excuse me, I have to go lock up my 3rd kid before he breaks something!

Kendall Breaks Arm!

...and she's ok. I mean, she did break her arm but look at her. Can you see why I almost didn't bring her in to get checked out? It was a fracture of her radius bone and luckily not too bad of a break. It hasn't slowed her down really. She has learned that doctors=stickers.

Cast is off in 3 weeks.

My rough n' tough girl!

Mama Mia, Pizza!

I love making homemade pizza dough- especially because I have the easiest recipe ever!! The girl's were bugging me while I was trying to cook tonight so I had a lightbulb moment *ding!* to give them each a little ball of dough to play with while I finished dinner.

Since the dough is vegan (no eggs), they were free to taste-test it as well.

And the pizza was good, too!
