That is how The Launch begins. The front of the invitation for Will & Cecilia's party.
Then the inside:
Will & Cecilia, to launch a new life,
Are off to Brazil to become man & wife.
April 2012 is the wedding, they say,
But their September move is just weeks away!
Their Baby-on-Board, to claim two countries home,
Will be born February of ‘12. How Great! Que Bom!
They’re packing post haste—80 pounds x 4.
Choosing what to take? To give up? To store?
‘Cuz the bride & groom (aka parents-to-be)
Have such limits on luggage, as well you can see,
A gift card from TARGET or BABIES-r-US
Would rock, with some time just to talk & some hugs.
Our doors will be open. Come & go. Come & stay!
We want you to share as they launch their new way.
Here are some pix of the prep and the Launch Party.
The Pre-Party Party started on Friday afternoon when all hands were on deck to prep party food--guava cheesecakes, fruits, veggies, and two wonderful sides with Portuguese names that I can't begin to spell.
But before all the work, there was a surprize birthday dinner to eat. While the fam was all together, I decided that we needed to celebrate Steve Jr's October birthday with his favorite manicotti. It was a surprize all right, 5 weeks in advance of the birthdate!
What Manicotti? |
This is what 36 looks like . . . |
Steve lights up, breaking the long-standing house rule of "No Fires In the Living Room" |
We sang. He took a really deep breath . . . |
He made a wish and blew (with a little help from Mom) |
Will suffered through many teary onions |
Old Guys Rule |
Kim helped with Can't Stop Cookie prep |
the two Steves rolled cookie dough with Kim |
There's always fun around the sink with the chief cooks and bottle washers |
