Kayla's Shower

There was yet another bridal shower held this past Sunday… This time it was for Mark’s [a cousin] Fiancée. Her name is Kayla :)  She is from Missouri and met Mark [through FB] about 6 or so months ago. They are the cutest couple, and so happy together!

Anyways, let’s skip the rest of the preliminaries and go directly to September 30th; date of shower.

Mom decided on a wine and cheese theme [without the wine, of course!] And….It turned out beautiful.

Right after Church and a stop at Mickey Dees, we went to get ready for the shower….

The tables, flowers and most of the decorations were already up and ready, having been put up the night before.

[all the ladies, who helped with the shower]

We set out the food and did some other last minute things. Then everyone started arriving! Gasps of delight and shock were frequent.

 

You walked up the steps and were greeted by Joanna. She gave you a card to write a memory or some advice on. Faith took your gift. You paused in the doorway. Bright shades of pink and orange bounced out at you. Your eyes wandered around looking at the food, drink table and the guestbook table.

--Tables scattered around the garage were full of laughing, talking people. There were tall vases as the table centerpieces, beautiful flowers were clustered in small groups.

The drink table stood in a corner. Cute little “black boards” [tied on with pink ribbon], told you what each beverage was.  Sparkling Grape, Green Tea, water and coffee were prepared and ready to drink.

Next you walked to the food table. Cheese of all varieties was sliced, cubed and chunked. Bundt cakes and Peanut Butter Balls called your name. But there was more! You walked around the table. Everything looked beautiful, as well as yummy : D [sorry, the pictures aren't edible!]

Then you took a seat and the games began! [what fun]

[one of the many!]

 

Next it was time to eat. You filled yourself with cheese, crackers, dessert and more cheese!

 

Kayla opened her presents and thanked you for the nice gift you had brought her....

 Then it was “go home time”, you took a little favor bag. It had 2 chocolate dipped pretzels, [your favorite]
[you munched on them as you drove home]
