Kentucky Derby party

This year my friends and I finally had a Kentucky Derby party!  The weather was perfect for a bbq, mint juleps, and our very own derby.  Big hats were a must!

Friday night we decorated hats...
Admiring her work...

Modeling...

Concentrating...

the finished products!

Then it was off to the races on Saturday...
all the fixins for the mint julep...which I was surprised that I liked!


All the ladies...front...

and back.

Then it was time for the derby...hobby horse galloping and flip cup!
The derby tourney board

Giving my horse a pep talk...

Competing against Lauren

The ultimate winners!

She saved the day with waters... :)

Did anyone else attend a Kentucky Derby party?

    Hi Jaime, I keep seeing your name on some mutual blogger friends of ours and wanted to say hi. Your hats and this party were phenomenal!

    If only I had your talent, I have such a weakness for hats!

    OMG that's too adorable! I've always wanted to go to a Kentucky Derby party! Acutally always wanted to go to the Derby itself but a party would be even better I think :)

    Love all the hats! You guys look amazing and it looked like a ton of fun!
