I adore this little family.

Mrs. Hannah Hamill

Hannah, the younger sister of my longtime friend Phoebe continued the family's alliteration tradition (ok, so it's just 2 of her 3 sisters who have) when she married Robbie Hamill this past Saturday. Whatever their last name, the newlyweds were well-celebrated with a lively evening reception.

The bride was, of course, beautiful.

They had a selection of round layer cakes surrounded by old family wedding photos.

Citrus & sorbet colors and festive lanterns were the summer theme.

The Terrills make some adorable children.

And of course, it was great to visit with childhood friends such as Kristen & Phoebe, and Kyle.

Congratulations to Hannah & Robbie. Wishing you a lifetime of 'Happily Ever After'!

Anne's Visit: The Final 24 Hours

Friday, 00:00 (aka 6pm)
A walk around Pasadena City Hall, where I stalked a bride getting her photo taken






01:00 (aka 7pm)
Dinner at Islands with Sara P & Brandi Y

Saturday, 15:30 (aka 9:30am)
A high-class breakfast Hometown Buffet (What?! She wanted to go. Insisted upon it. I swear it!)

20:30 (2:30pm)
One last visit to Cold Stone Creamery! Chocolate Devotion for Anne (of course), Shock-a-Cone for me. Anne's excited as she holds the bag, then disappointed to pull out my ice cream first. But never fear, her excitement returns as she reunites with her devotion!



24:00 (aka 6pm)
Delivery to the airport. :-( That was a sad time, but we're already planning Road Trip #2 based out of Chicago. Niagra Falls here we come!

(For all the photos from Anne's visit, go HERE.)

Out of Town Guest = Reason to eat dessert

Claim Jumper's 'Motherlode' cake was right up Anne's chocolate-lovin' alley. I had the Chocolate Chip Calzone (DELISH, if you never tried it). I've eaten more dessert in the last 1.5 weeks than I have in months! It's been fun, I must say.
