Cupcakes on the Red Carpet

You may recall that we took a trip to Tennessee earlier this year to see our dear friend Ivie's high school graduation ceremony.  Well, this weekend we went to her official movie themed graduation bash!  Doc was the DJ, the dinner music was a mix of movie soundtracks, and old Nancy Drew and Bulldog Drummond films were projected over the dance floor.  Movie posters and quotes were stacked along the room with Sharpies so we could autograph them (although I spent my time drawing a goatee on Godzilla).  Ivie graciously let me post some of the photos I took throughout the night.

Congratulations, Ivie!

The (summer) Story so Far...

 Anniversary dinner.

 Dinner at a friend's wedding, and their gifts.

 Lunch at the old-style drugstore/diner.

 This is our new cat, Oryx.  She's a sweet little girl, but very sly, 

as most cats are.

 ComicCon in Philly

Carnival Evening

There's nothing like a humid summer evening at the carnival, complete with lights, cotton candy, and games.  This is the height of the summer season and the summer experience.  The atmosphere of traveling carnivals has been maintained through decades and cities, and is definitely a fine way to take a step back into the past.

The Formal Lego Party

Last spring, we decided to have (quite possibly) the world's first ever 'formal Lego party.'  Three teams competed to complete a structure first, with the prize being: candy.  Lots and lots of candy.

Many cupcakes were eaten, much fun was had, and it was declared a rousing success.

Huzzah!  

Here are some photos of the chaos/fun....
