My Big Awesome Bachlorette Weekend!

I can not even begin to tell you how much fun I had this past weekend up in Tahoe! I have the best friends and family in the entire world! 17 us in total and not one hint of drama the whole trip. Not that I was worried since everyone is so mellow and easy going. The house Karen and Stacy found for us was a castle! 5,000 sq.ft. of awesomeness! 3 levels, an elevator (which was closed off to us), 5 or 6 full bathrooms (all with huge showers with at least 2 shower heads), another 3 or 4 half bathrooms, a pool table, 3 giant sitting rooms, hot tub, incredible view.... it was insane!! We went out for free drinks at Montbleu and dancing, played in the snow and had a great lunch at Mc. P's Saturday day and the girls got me table service for Saturday night at club Vex!!! 4 bottles of booze and a bucket of beer, our own security, actual couches to sit on and a never ending night of dancing without being bothered by randoms. WHAT A GREAT NIGHT!!! We had a birthday pancake breakfast for Heather V Sunday morning before heading home. Seriously, best bachlorette party I could have ever imagined! Thanks girls!!! Here are just a few of the 1000+ pictures taken from the weekend. I had 460 on my camera alone! As more get uploaded and sent out I may post more later in the week.

Bachelor Party & Girls Weekend

Mike and the guys headed up to South Lake Tahoe this past weekend for Mike's big bachelor party weekend. Obviously there are no pictures to post, but it sounds like they had an incredible time. They loved the house that Tammy booked for them and had a play in the snow day with Larry's snow mobiles on Saturday. Everyone came home safe, sound and not too hung over :)

While the boys were away the girls decided to play! It was a pre-bachelorette party basically. Friday night some of the girls and I went to dinner and almost closed the restaurant down. We were going to go out after but decided sleep was more important. Saturday 7 of us when down to Stacy's house for a girls night in. We had tons of food (what else is new) drinks and played board games. Disney Candyland was my favorite. Yes, we played Candyland! Olivia was her adorable self and we all had fun playing with her. I spend the night and headed home in the morning to hang with Mike when he got home.

Sunday night we had a "welcome home" party for our friend Jon. He hasn't actually moved home yet, but he came into town for Mike's bachelor party so Mandy threw a party for him as well. It was fun to hang with our "fun weekend" crew again. We planned the next trip for this summer and just hung out. All in all, GREAT weekend for both of us :)

3 more big 3 0's

This weekend was a little crazy (what else is new!). Friday my longtime friend Robin turned 30 and we went to a local dueling piano bar to celebrate. She lives in Walnut Creek, which isn't THAT far, but we don't get to see her nearly enough. She decided to insure her friends would be able to attend her big 3 0 party she needed to come to us :) There was a giant group of Robin supporters and we had a really fun time. The piano guys were hilarious and really talented. If you are ever interesting in going, let me know!

Us rocking out. I should never sing in public!

Robin was having fun, I promise!

Saturday brought on 2 more friends 30th birthday bashes. We started the night out with a dress up wine party for Michelle. I love excuses to dress up! It's strange to see the guys all decked out in their dress clothes though and took a few double takes to recognize some of them. Michelle's mom had provided an incredible spread of yummy snacks and ended the night with a chocolate fountain with more goodies to dip in than you can imagine! It was a great night and I think Michelle had a wonderful time (which is all that matters).

I love Luca's Tux t0-shirt!

My bestest friends :)

Around 9:30 we headed up to the city for our friend Sarah's 30th birthday party. She's been trying to get us out to this bar called Butter for over a year now and decided to throw her party there. It's a white trash themed bar, with a trailer inside and everything. They serve miller high life 40oz beers in paper bags, have 80's woman's wrestling video's playing on projectors and serve pretty yummy "bar food" that consists of tater tots with Hormel chili, otter pops, deep fried twinkes and more. The best part was the awesome music that was being played all night. One of the best DJ's I've heard!! We trashed up our clothes and had a great time celebrating Sarah's 30th year on this earth.

Don' t you love the brown bagged beer?

Tux t-shirts are the best

We ended the weekend with some Sunday Funday mud soccer, which I am VERY sore from, and a nice long nap :0) More birthday's to come this week but no more 30ths another year or so...
