Plaid cupcakes, Plaid Dresscode, and some....gifts.

Through the front door of the Carroll house a flood of beautiful women suddenly burst in showcasing the newest plaid fashions. What better place to do this than at the Thunderbird Darien Carroll Wedding Shower 2009 put on by the greatest friends.

They showed up with freshly made plaid cupcakes....

some pink boxes......

and a lot of toilet paper.....

What's a Save the Date?

Eric might not have known what a "Save the Date" card is, but with a little help from the crew and his youngest sister, Nicole, behind the camera lens, the Laird/Carroll "Save the Date" postcard was born. The Bob and Natalie show designed the Laird Crest stamp and helped Darien design a classic style postcard to mail out to those traveling to the wedding. Finding a classic Ford Thunderbird was made easy thanks to the Calls from Idaho and Nicole worked her magic. The smiles are all real thanks to everyone's help.

Ladies and Gentlemen the class of 2009!

Darien decided that it might be kind of fun to graduate from Thunderbird a few weeks before the wedding for good measure. Why not?! Grandpa Carroll, Ramsey, Eric,

Bob, and Natalie were there for supportive shout-outs when they called Darien across the stage to receive her degree and snap some classy pics. So proud of her!
