"Grits" Comes into Town

Hello!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  I sure did!  My sister Melanie, aka "Grits" came into town this week from Alabama!  I love it when sister comes into town. I love being able to spend everyday with her doing something fun, chatting, and taking it easy.  Normally we talk a lot on the phone or Skype with each other.  It was really good to see her and her little pregnant belly.

We did some fun things, we went to the cute Oh Sweet Sadie Boutique, saw Austenland, ate a lot of baklavas and gyros at the Salt Lake City Greek Festival, toured my town's local Garden Show, and Caitlin and I hosted Melanie a baby shower with all of our family and friends.  Melanie is doing a really cute mermaid theme nursery, so Caitlin and I thought we would host a mermaid theme shower and it turned out really cute.  We had it at my parents backyard.  Check out some of the pictures from this week.

Found this awesome Lone Ranger wig at the Disney Store.  I couldn't resist.

A mermaid spread.  I used the same decorations I used for Amelia's birthday party.

Isn't that bib so awesome!  Melanie's crafty and artsy friend handmade it!  When she starts selling them, I'll let you know!  I want to buy a bunch of these!

Melanie went home today (tear).  Back to the daily grind.  What did you do this weekend?  I would love to hear some of the fun things you did with you and your family!
