Happy kitchen day, Stephanie!

Yesterday we threw a bridal shower here in Gilroy for Stephanie! (my brother's fiance, for those of you not on the up and up on my life) lol. It went really well! We had a great turnout and had fun showering her with kitchen stuff! Don't worry, no one actually threw knives or anything. The big present was a compilation recipe book for Stephanie that a lot of people have contributed to! Thanks to all who did! It turned out great, and lots of people there wanted one. Including me...

Here's my mom gearing up to present the recipe book-complete with pictures of family members cooking, and/or of the food. yum!

They loved it! (of course, who wouldn't?)

That's Janae in the front, she was rushing around getting ready for her Junior prom all while we were setting up. Stephanie did her hair, and my mom made her dress...I didn't get a picture of it...maybe I will steal one from her, it was soo pretty!

Yummm cupcakes. I made about 150 mini cupcakes that afternoon and frosted most of them myself. (thanks for the help, Joanna haha.) It was soothing actually and the control freak in me didn't want to let anyone else help. haha. We had chocolate peanut butter cupcakes with peanut butter frosting, red velvet with cream cheese frosting, and vanilla with chocolate. The PB ones were a hit!

Sorry about the horrible quality of the pictures...I have a love/hate relationship with my flash on my camera, and yesterday it was hate. haha
