Katie and Jason's Housewarming Party!

Okay, I am playing catch up for events that took place in the past couple of weeks! My good friend Katie and her husband recently bought a gorgeous house in Frisco, a suburb north of Dallas. They had a house warming party a couple of weeks ago so we made the drive up there one Saturday to celebrate with all our friends! There house is so nice! It was a new build, so they were able to completely customize it. I have to admit that I was a little jealous of the brand, new pretty everything when I think of my 1956 old, little house. (Don't worry - I love our house and we are not moving to the burbs anytime soon!)

(I am wearing my Leona Pendant from Stella & Dot - love it!)
Katie had fun mustaches and a picture area set up. We defnitely took advantage.
Here are the two mustache aficiandos, Kate and Lauren. They have a thing for them. :)
Katie, me, and Kate, posing with the Orchid I gave them for a housewarming present.
I also brought my yummy corn dip. Katie had cute little chalk board signs to label all the food. So cute! This dip is always a hit, served with Fritos.
Kate works for a food broker, so she is able to get tons of free food and got Katie stuff for the party. Thoughtful Katie wanted to let everyone know Kate provided the food so she made this frame.

Even their boxer Stoney got in on the mustache action. Such a good boy!
Our Aussie friend Nicole and Kate
Katie and "Harrington" as we call her - Loved her shirt!

As you can see, we clearly had a lot of fun with these.

 Thanks Katie for the cup on my head!

 Thanks Kate for the bunny ears!

 And yes, here is where the fun starts. We decided to do a cheer leader pyramid. Not sure who's bright idea this was. Pretty sure I ended up with a bruise on my chin because of this. I will spare you the sprawled out on the floor pictures when we fell. And the pictures of me trying to put Kate on my shoulders. And the pictures of me wrestling with Stoney. And the pictures in the bathroom where we pulled down the shower curtain somehow. Yes, we had a good time.

And yes, Eric was there too!! I managed to sneak in a mustache picture with him. Yay for being a good sport!

Thanks to Katie and Jason for a fun party! I love your new house and can't wait for the next festivity!

So cute! What a great idea :) I love the mustaches!!! I get jealous too of my friends that buy brand new homes and can customize them any which way they want to!!! I love my house too but sometimes I want a "re-do"
