Baby Shower for Baby Golubski

Monday, August 29, 2011

I had the privilege in co-hosting a shower for my sister (in-law) Lauren with her two sisters and dear friend Meghan this past Sunday. The theme was "Feather the Nest" and it was so much fun! It was great spending time with them setting up and taking down...getting excited for this new addition to our families. I am so glad we got to do it together! Thank you for all of the help, and delicious food that you brought! Thank you also to my wonderful husband for watching the boys for 3 days straight, my dad for doing whatever else we needed help with, my mom who helped with much of the decorating and all of the wonderful ladies who helped tear down and wrap all of those dishes! It was a beautiful celebration and we CANNOT wait for our nephew to arrive!

This burlap banner was one of my personal favorites, but I couldn't get a great shot of it all together.
"Sweet Baby Boy"

Cake...it was blue inside to match!


Sketches of nests and eggs


Awesome feather wreath my mom made...wish I would have gotten a closer pic!

A huge reprint of the artwork we used for the invites and placemats we made.
Notice the pool behind...which is why we made burlap curtains for the first floor!

We used a lot of ribbon...and it ended up on Lauren's niece by the end of the shower. She loved dancing around in them.

Grabbed a quick pic with the mommy to be and my mom at the very end...


It was all worth it when my sister came in and saw everything. She was such a gracious guest of honor who deserved the very best shower! Love you Lauren!

We were going through our videos and came across this one. I think he gets it from his mom.

Cupcakes

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

I've been wanting to make some sort of filled cupcake for awhile now, and today I did it.
I managed to only have one bite, but I thought they tasted pretty good...kind of like a hostess cupcake. Here are a few of pictures of the process...

Cutting out the middles...
Saving the tops...
Filling the cupcakes with vanilla cream...
Topping the cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting!
Joseph, giving me the thumbs up.

I took them to James' office so that we wouldn't eat them all. I hope they enjoyed them as much as Joseph enjoyed eating the middles of the cupcakes!

POLSKA

Last weekend we went to Polski Day. If you are wondering what Polski Day is...it is a day where one should wear red, eat lots of Polish food, wish that they were Polish, and act Polish even if they aren't. For years my cousins Lonnie and Nancy have opened their home to "the family" after the parade to eat, drink and be Polish (okay enough of that). Then there is a Polish mass, more Polish food and Polka dancing up the hill at the Catholic Church. I have so many memories of Polski Day...from decorating the Golubski family float, followed by one year taking cover under the float during a tornado, dressing up with my cousin Ali in authentic Polish attire, dancing the Polka with my Uncle Joe, and staying up late running around with all of my cousins. The times have changed a bit, and the golden years of Polski Day may be behind us, but as long as they keep celebrating it, I will try to be there with my red Golubski t-shirt...hubby and kids in tow.


The Beechers all decked out in red...(James even had a red polo on...but got too hot.)


Some of my dad's cousins and my grandma.
Joseph...celebrating the Polish and the American in him.
Eli...obviously very content at Polski Day!
