The week before the funeral, we hosted a Bridal Shower for Hilary (she and my cousin, Al, are getting married this weekend in Brownsville, Texas). Kristin was technically the hostess, but it was at Mom's house, and Charlene and I helped out a lot too. Here's Mom tying bows on her front doors. =)
We had a fruit cup assembly line of sorts, and I used straws to pit the cherries, which was harder than I expected (next time, we'll skip those or buy a cherry pitter tool).
Anyway, they turned out cute, especially when we added the tiny forks Mom found at the Dollar Store. =)
The "Here Comes the Bride" banner that T&C carried at Rachael's wedding!
Overall kitchen setup. Fun pictures + mirror and candle + Hershey kisses, cheese cubes and crackers, cashews, fruit cups, 3 kinds of M&Ms, McAlister's strawberry lemonade, and water!
While posing for a group pic, Kristin accidentally turned on the stove. lol
Take #2. =) Hilary with the unofficial shower hostesses (Missy, Charlene, Kristin, Me, and Mom).
The cake table!
One of the cuter babies I've seen in a while named Scotland. =) A lil' redhead who found everything delightfully funny and had such a cute laugh... here, she was excited about putting on the glittery ribbon from one of my presents Mom had wrapped.
Charlene cutting the cake and doing a lovely job. Hilary's a chocolate fan too, so it was all chocolate! #winning
Tuurrible lighting, but this is one of the first magnolia flowers at Mom and Dad's house...
Earlier that day, I got an email from Shutterfly that I painted the magnolias at my house 12 years ago that day! Craziness. (Grandad cut the wood to fit across my bathtub so I could reach everything I wanted to paint). ❤
Also, note to self: you look good in the above pic! lol My goals on health and weight have shifted, but I definitely want to develop a daily routine that works to my benefit there! For starters, I could spend a bit more time exercising and a bit less time with the hotness that is Neal Caffrey. ;-) Or I could combine the two and watch Hulu on my phone while working out at Planet Fitness! lol #goals #whitecollar #sogood
