{The Girl Kyle Bakes} Papa Lane's Favorite Cupcake!
I hope everyone had a relaxing Sunday with their fathers. I'm already looking ahead at my four day work week! No relaxing to be had this week or weekend. My to-do list is bursting with tons of last minute things to accomplish for my best friend's bridal shower this Saturday. I even took Friday off so that I would have plenty of time to get everything just right for her party. I haven't been able to share many details since she reads this blog so I'm looking forward to the post next week. There's nothing I love more than throwing a party!
Back to Dad though - last night was another amazing dinner with family and friends at my parent's house. Followed up with lots of great gifts for my dad. Our usual way of celebrating, great food and great gifts. My dad loved his shirt, which I picked up on Etsy at a neat shop called Vital. If you or someone that you know is a bike enthusiast, it's worth checking out. I think what my Dad really loved was his tupperware wrapped in a towel. Yes, I got my Dad tupperware - it's one of those things and I didn't have any non-girly/wedding wrapping paper! He said that in all his years of unwrapping gifts, he'd never had one wrapped in a towel. I like to be an original!
