livin' large in texas: part 1

bachelorette/birthday style

{ fyi: bec and her friends are OBSESSED with Friday Night Lights so hints the FNL themed decor }

unfortunately for bec, 4 of her best friends live in texas.  i know that she is really missing them a lot during this special time in her life, especially with all the wedding planning.  after talking about what we were going to do for her bachelorette party we decided that it would be most convenient for us to fly out to texas.  we did some talking about everyone's schedules and it just so happened that the weekend of becca's birthday was going to be JUST perfect for everyone.

so...becca, lo, and myself packed our cowboy boots and we were off to dallas :)

we landed in dallas on friday and were so excited because reilly was there to pick us up :)  we headed to the hotel where we were going to decorate one of the rooms for bec's party we had planned for later that night.  we sent bec to the other room to hang out while we decorated before heading to get dinner at bec's favorite mexican restaurant, chuey's.

reilly and sally, two of becca's best friends live in dallas. along with two of our cousins, lacey and megan.  morgan and lauren, two more of becca's best friends were driving in from austin, where they live.  everyone met up with us for dinner at chuey's before heading back to the hotel.

the cousins :)

 the bride-to-be with sally and ry

 all of us at dinner!

 lauren. bec. morgan.

after dinner we headed back to the hotel for the infamous lingerie shower.  since we are all so artsy of course we took pictures of all the decorations, so here are a few shots of the room decorated.  

(dont mind the horrible hotel room lighting)

(we hung all of bec's lingerie on a string from clothes pins, but i'm not allowed to post pics of that)

cute pantie and bra cookies that ry made!

precious deco that ry made! she used puff paint to make the outline of tx and then painted the bottles with chalk paint before putting those cute little tissue paper flowers in them :) she did such an awesome job with all the cute decor!

cute little pin wheels!

the sign that morgan and lauren made!

morgan and lauren did these cute little wall decorations and also put pictures up all over the room!

goodie bags that lauren made for us non-texas girls :)

yummy cupcakes that sally had made for everyone!

cute little sign that ry bought for decoration and for becca to take home (because this is russ' favorite thing to say)

cute little mason jar glasses that morgan and lauren had with all of our names on them :)

 and the bride-to-be was: surprised. shocked. excited. thankful

 some group photos of us girls. (minus lo in this pic)

 us being silly and posing with this cute frame reilly had brought for decoration :)

 bride-to-be and sally!

 love my sissy!

 becca and her sweet friend lauren!

 love me some morgy!

 holy big eyes! hehe! sorry boo!
such a cute pin that reilly made especially for miss becca boo to wear on the first night!

 pretty sure this might be my favorite picture EVER.  love this 2 more than words can describe.

so. we had a few games that we played during the lingerie shower.

1. bec had to guess who gave her which {little number}
2. we played, "how well do you know your groom." i asked russ a bunch of questions about himself and then we asked bec the questions and she had to guess how russ answered it. every answer she got wrong she had to put a piece of double bubble gum in her mouth. i thought it would be pretty funny seeing her with a mouth full of double bubble, but she actually knows her man very well. (only missed 3 questions)
3. reilly wrote a bunch of questions on a beach ball and we tossed the ball back and forth and whatever question our hands landed on we had to answer it about becca and then when we threw the ball to her she had to answer the questions about us.  this was such a cute idea because we were able to go down memory lane and tell fun stories about becca.

we all had a blast on friday night and then hit the sack to get ready for becca's big birthday surprise we had planned for the next day.

more to come next time :)
