Brunch with Barbie

Yesterday afternoon was Barbie’s Bridal Shower at a country club in Marine’s home town. After making the commute north with #BFF & theBaby, we arrived at the beautiful golf course on a perfectly-temperatured day. We walked into the banquet hall filled with light from windows overlooking the fairway where Barbie, her MOH (Kitty), and her future mother-in-law were waiting to greet us. The tables were decorated with beautiful china stands covered in adorable little, cakes. #BFF asked if she’d shrink or grow depending on which one she ate since they reminded her of Alice in Wonderland. Our gifts were taken up to a table by the window and mimosas were handed out before reaching our seats. Each table setting had a heart-shaped glass dish filled with cookies&candies for party favors and white balloons with pink&purple ribbons floated over the center of each round table. We had the perfect amount of sisters to fill one table and we chatted away until brunch was served. Just before the meal, a prayer was said and Barbie’s future mother-in-law was tickled pink to introduce the beautiful bride-to-be to her wonderful friends&family.

Quiche – Cheesy Potatoes – Sausages – French Toast – Danishes – Bagels – Fruit Salad – All goodies served in a shiny silver buffet line. After our delicious meal, we were served two different kinds of cake – banana or chocolate (both with vanilla whipped frosting) – before Barbie started opening her gifts for all to see. A true dessert queen, she got every type of serving tray and tasting dish imaginable and we’re all so sad she lives to far away to throw awesome dinner parties with her new goodies. (someday, we’ll live near each other again – I promise.) After the gifts, we socialized and took a group picture in the foyer just like old times
before heading back to our homes.
