Last weekend we threw Kat's Bachelorette Party in North Lake Tahoe with her friends and fam. We stayed at the Hyatt and got in plenty of beach time, cocktails, pool time, good food, and gambling. I came home a winner on the penny slots and blackjack tables and Maisie felt like she won big too, she got lots of time to snuggle with Jannie since big sister was with Dad and couldn't put up a fight if Jannie held Maisie! Kat had a lot of fun and the countdown is on to the wedding day!!

BRIDE (to-be!) I added a Be-Dazzler to my embroidery machine-ing ;)

Good friends

Maureen and Patrick

Andrea was such a good sport! She is feeling really pregnant but stayed up in Red Bluff for two weeks between the funeral/bachelorette party/wedding.

4 of the 5 Heffernan Sister-in-laws (all had a baby or will within one year and the 5th SIL Kat is getting married in the same year!)

Saturday we spent most of the day on the beach! Drink service and perfect weather... couldn't ask for more...

(oh, except my good little Maisie girl hanging out happy on the beach all day too- even longer than I did, she stayed w Jannie and Em while I went up to gamble at the end of the day!)

Yes, Lake Tahoe is this cold

My Little Maisie Moo

Saturday night before dinner we had a little "Lingerie Shower" for Kat in our room... nothing like three babies crashing a bachelorette party!

Jane couldn't come but sent her gifts- even the Mother-of-the-Bride got some sparkly lingerie!

I forgot to bring a carrier for Maisie. Luckily she fit in my purse.

Jennifer, Claudia and Kat

The whole crowd before dinner

Table for 12 at dinner. Our reservations were for 8pm and the bachelor party at our table wouldn't leave so we didn't sit down until 10! We didn't mind the free round of cocktails and appetizers though :) We all went around the table and told stories about the first time we met Kat- it was a fun night to toast the bride-to-be.
