Celebrate!

I thought it would be fun to do a quick picture recap of all of the fun celebrations leading up to Kacey and Rossi's wedding.  We went to Des Moines for their engagement party and Kacey's first shower. Her shower at our Aunt Bobbi's was beautiful! We had so much fun celebrating with family-and don't you worry there is always a dance party when the Coppola's are around.  Here are just a couple of shots from the weekend:

As you can see, we know how to have a good time! We had a great time in Iowa and the weekend flew by way too quickly.

Our next stop was Fort Smith, Arkansas for an engagement party to celebrate with all of Rossi's family and friends.  I was so sad, because I forgot my camera and there were so many fun things I wasn't able to capture.  The party was at an old southern home and everything was was beautiful.  Flowers, food, string quartet, cake = GORGEOUS.  Fran (Rossi's Mom) has amazing friends who hosted the party, and they turned the historical southern mansion into a little tuscan escape.  Oh and hands down THE BEST almond sweet tea I have ever tasted.  I still need to get the recipe from Fran.  Delish. Our trip to Ft. Smith went by too quickly as well, but I hope we get to go back soon.

Our third and final stop on the celebration train landed us on a cruise ship heading to Mexico. Yup, that's right, Kacey and Rossi's "Nobody Brings Us Down a Notch" Bachelor/Bachelorette Cruise. We also snuck in a surprise personal shower for Kacey before we boarded our ship-good times!  Now friends, most pictures are not blog appropriate, but I would be happy to forward on the link if anyone would like to see ALL of the photos. All I can say is this: I think I am getting too old for a 3 day party...wink wink.   Enjoy~
