Thanksgiving at Natalie's 2013

We had a great Thanksgiving at the Gilberts!
The food was incredible, as always!

We brought some sides and the Gilberts made the turkey and stuffing!
Natalie was struggling with her pregnancy a little, but she still managed to make everything perfect!

Gran was there for the celebrations!
One of the highlights was taking rides in the farm milk truck!


Grandma got such a kick out of this!


The rust bucket made it around the farm and back with no problem!


We had a great time together!


Great twin/family day!

BRENDAN JAMES in Indianapolis!

On this late November evening....

Brendan James was back in Fountain Square for the first time in over 5 years!
Tickets were only $10, and the music was priceless!


Brendan was his amazing, soulful self and played to perfection.
He played a lot of songs from his new album, Simplify, but also mixed in some past favorites!


 The music was moving, our seats were front row, and this concert was amazing!


Not only did we speak to Brendan, we also got hugs and an autograph! AND t-shirts!


Just hanging out with BRENDAN JAMES!!!!!! 

BEST twin night ever!

Michelle's Special Delivery Baby Shower!

Michelle is pregnant!
We were so excited to throw a baby shower for Michelle Schwindler!


Since she did not have a decided nursery theme (just the color scheme of pink and blue), we decided a classic stork look would be just the ticket!

We set the stage with a "special delivery" theme and kept with her color scheme for symmetry throughout the party!

Guests were met at the door with a special delivery bunting and a game!
When will be baby Schwindler's special delivery?

The next stop was the dining room to drop off their diaper parcels for the diaper raffle!
A neat add on to this area was the handmade diaper cake with monthly photo stickers!




The brunch theme made our menu a breeze!
We set up a spread of fruit cups, tater tot/smoked sausage skewers, muffins, petite quiches, and lemon tarts!
Of course there was orange juice, water, and apple juice!


But one of our best ideas was the coffee bar!
Located in the gift opening area, this allowed for plenty of refills!
Everyone loved it!


This is the first time we played the "Wishes for Baby" game.
Each guest filled out this card for baby Schwindler and we took their picture with Michelle.
Then we put them together in a photo album which we delivered to her on the day Annabelle was born!


The guest favors were stork packs!
Each guest had a candle with a custom "Michelle's Baby Shower" label wrapped up with ribbon and a chocolate stork!



 Everyone had a great time opening gifts, learning about Michelle, and showing off their bellies!




























We had a great time putting together this shower for one of our best friends (sister really)!
Great twin day!
