aint no party like the CAMPISE party!

well, we just love those campises.

my best friend Kathrin and her hubs David have just finished renovating their home and have recently been licensed for Foster Care/Adoption! We are all just so excited for them to wrap up renovations on their cute Craftsman house-which we LOVE! And cannot wait to meet the lucky kiddo(s) who get placed in their home.

Kathrin and I met at orientation before I began Freshman year at Tech (my parents refer to her as "Kathrin from Orientation") gotta love it ;) She has been the best friend to me no matter what I am going thru, or what she is going thru. She is so loyal and so encouraging and has just been there for me-so thankful for this girl! We are just so blessed to know her and her sweet husband Dave. Mike and I (and Meryl) have been so lucky to live closer to them over the past year. We have loved getting to spend more time with these 2 who mean so much to us! AND gosh, Meryl loves these 2. Thinks Kat is hilarious (we all do right?) I mean-who else can entertain your kiddos with kid song after kid song-?!?! I have so many great stories w/ this girl, clearly cannot say enough-so lets get on with the pics! We all threw them a housewarming/Prep for Foster Care party...and we had a blast!

{Kat had the super fun idea to place progress pics of the house renovations all over so guests could see for themselves the amazing progress!}

{pics were posted in each room of the progress}

{and DAVE slaving away in their cute kitchen on his amazing spaghetti and meatballs.they made a whopping record of 130 for the party! ummmm I think they need to go into resturant biz-what do you think?}

{hosts doing some party prep-how cute is their dining room! Dave built this table for Kat a few years ago, light fixture is original-from the '30s, and Brandie made this adorable felted wool dot banner-as seen in above 2 pics!}

{food table after most had been devoured}

{yummm spaghetti on the stove!}

{Meryl LOVES Kat, Dave and Dave's spaghetti too}

{invite, fun decs and favors!}

{sweet sweet friends!}

{Love these 2}

We had so much fun.

Thanks Brandie for sharing your pics! My camera was at the photobooth for most of the party-the photobooth just may have to be a separate posting-it was so cute!

hope everyone is having a great Monday!
