August 14th my bridesmaids through me a wonderful shower. It was so much fun and I was so glad to see how many people were able to make it :o)
Shawn dropped me off so we took a few minutes to say hello together before he was kicked out ;-)
Me and my soon to be hubby!
The room was decorated so nice. Each table had a tree like centerpiece on it with a stone filled vase bottom. Each branch either had a picture of Shawn and I on it or a love quote..so cute. The favors were bags of reeses pieces (of course matching the color of my fall wedding theme).
All the mom's, grandmother's and I got to take one of these home!
Favors
After my sister had welcomed everyone and we had a bite to eat we started with the games. I think everyones favorite was the marshmallow game. My sister would ask me questions about Shawn i.e. his favorite color, nickname growing up etc. For everyone right....well I got nothing lol, but for every question I got wrong I had to stuff a marshmallow in my mouth! (Which had most people hysterical by the way lol)
Amanda looks like she is enjoying slowly choking me a little too much! lol
After getting to the point of being unable to breath the game was over! lol My over all score was 6/10...disapointing I know! lol
Afterwards we took a little time to get some pictures with family and friends.
Jackie and Lynda (my other moms) past coworkers

Next was cake! It was soo delicious and the best part was that we had so much left over I was still eating it a week later haha!
Making a wish ;-)
Lastly...you guessed it! Gift time!!! I was spoiled rotten and I'm not afraid to admit it. I couldn't have ask for anything more. I got some wonderful gifts. And my bridesmaids had quite an efficient system. My sister wrote down everything I received and from whom, Amanda made a fantastic bouquet out of all of my ribbons, Courtney took all of the pictures, Kim took care of the garbage and handing me the gifts and Shannon repackaged everything and stacked it all back up! I think I made record time lol! It took me a few weeks but everything is finally unpacked and put where it belongs.
Opening gifts! We had quite a system going.
The shower was absoultly wonderful thanks to my fantastic bridesmaids! You guys are the best! Thank you to everyone who came and for all of your thoughts and best wishes! Love you all!
My girls! Shannon, Courtney, Amanda, Kim, Myself and Kristie
Thanks for reading!
