Engagement Excitement

Last night we had a surprise engagement party for Jeremiah's cousin and her fiance, Jen and Dave. The shindig was held at Jeremiah's aunt and uncle's house, which is about ten minutes from our apartment. The family wanted to do something special for the soon-to-be Underwoods while Jeremiah's immediate family was in town, and it was a success.

These are the cupcakes I made--an inspiration from the cupcakes my mom made after my own engagement. Jen is thinking about watermelon and orange colors for her wedding.

Here's sweet Ruby, looking as cute as ever.

Ah, and here are the Link brothers, up to no good jumping off the ladder into the pool. But let it be known their own father was watching the stunt--and of course, I was taking pictures. Their aunt and mother were none too pleased when shown the pictures.

My dear brother-in-law, Ben, showing off his cupcake-topped engagement rings.
