Bachelorette party!

JoAnn's bachelorette party (the party was on the 21st, so I am a little behind...)was a big hit! Helena, Annie and I threw it right after Chantel's wedding (I know you are thinking "what are you crazy!?! Right after Chantel's the wedding... But the day is crazy enough as it is!" and it is true, the day was crazy, but JoAnn and my Dad were getting married the next morning and it was the only time to do it!)

After Chantel's wedding was over the 'girls' (Helena, Annie and I) kidnapped JoAnn and we went and had a fun little party. We kept it low key and made sure it was not too long (we all had a long day!) A few other people were able to make it too (one of them was Joann's Close friend of thirty years!)


Annie made this awesome cake for the party. Everyone had a great time!


So the 'girls' kidnapped JoAnn and the 'guys' (Dave, David, Kurt and Jimmy) kidnapped my Dad and took him to play laser tag for his bachelor party! They met up with a few other guys too (a few of my Dad's close friends) and played for a while, they were going to play a half hour game but after it was over they decided to play for another half hour (I guess that means it was a hit!) Dad and JoAnn were really excited that we threw them the parties, they weren't expecting anything and even though it was late everyone had a blast!

The picture is of the guys getting back from their game, everyone was ready for bed by the end of all the festivities!

The Bride

Chantel looked so wonderful on her wedding day! I just had to post a picture (this picture doesn't even do her justice!) this was taken in the brides room right before Chantel and Mike's reception.

Fun fact-
Because the reception center just opened, Chantel and Mike were the first people ever have their reception there!

Jump On It!

I get to blog about (at least to an extent) Chantel's bachelorette party! The first part of the party was completely tame, which means it is completely blogable!

(my sister Helena, my sister in-law Annie, my sister the bride Chantel and me!)

The party consisted of just 'the sisters' so it was filled with a lot of fun and a lot inside jokes: ) We blindfolded Chantel and then threw her in the car so we could take her to the surprise location for her bachlorett party. She was incredibly confused as to where we were going (partly because we tried to confuse her.... We kept giving 'hints' that MIGHT have been a little misleading) When we got to our destination we all had to sign waivers saying we wouldn't sue if we got hurt... (Chantel still didn't know where we were...) That is when she started to get a little concerned : )

We went to this awesome place called Jump On It, it was a warehouse sized building filled with connecting trampolines that you... well jumped on...

Little known fact-
It is really hard to get a good picture of people jumping...

Jumping is actuality a lot of work (Dancing too...) And a lot of fun too!

We had a great time and it was a wonderful way to start Chantel's bachelorette party!

And The Fun Begins

This past week has been a kind of crazy (My sister Chantel got married on the 21st and then my Dad was married on the 22nd) so I have a little catching up to do with my blogging!

At the beginning of last week JoAnn (the woman my Dad married) took Chantel and I for our first manicure and pedicure to get ready for the weddings! My Grandma Kaiser, Rachel (JoAnn's daughter in-law) Andrea (JoAnn's daughter) came too, we made it into a fun girls day/night out! I had Chantel and JoAnn wear 'bachelorett' sashes during our outing, it was a nice way to let everyone know they were getting married :)

After our day of pampering we all went out to dinner at Olive Garden, It was a really fun day and a great way to start off a hectic week.

(In case you were wondering what the awesome sashes had written on them-
JoAnn's said 'bachelorette and had little devils horns decorated all over it and Chantel's says 'caution bachelorette at play')
