Allison's Bridal Shower

Today was Allison's Bridal shower thrown by Cheryl, myself and Aunt Kelly (the soon-to-be mother-in-law). The shower was a hit (I think!). I had a great time, especially with the games and I enjoyed all the company. The food was delicious thanks to Aunt Kelly!!! Allison is marrying my cousin Jason on August 22 and I can't wait. I tried to get her to move the wedding up to today but it just didn't work out. Anyways, here are some pictures of the festivities. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with Brooke during the shower (thanks for changing the poop diaper Mom) and to all those special ladies who cleaned up for me while I skyped with Jeff and fed Brooke dinner.

P.S. A special thanks to my cousin Jason for supplying the picture of himself with no questions asked. What a brave guy!

Let the party begin!!

I can't thank you enough for throwing such a great bridal shower for Allison! Everything turned out so perfect. The games were a blast and the cakes were gorgeous. This blog is a very nice finishing touch to a wonderful day. Thanks so much for it all!

We are so happy for Jason & Allison! It was nice to spend more time with Allison and meet some of her family. Jason is a very blessed young man! Can't wait for the wedding.

Candy the cake was adorable! You did a wonderful job. You are quickly turning into the our official cake decorator!

Love the family picture at the end! Good pose Jeff!

Way to go Candy! The shower looked like loads of fun, wish I could have made it. I would have loved to have told some embarassing stories about Aunt Kelly to Allison and her family. Guess I'll have to do it at the wedding! You're picture with Jeff is too funny! Thanks for skyping me in after the clean up to say hello to the family that was left. Sounded like it was a great day!

Awesome cakes, Candy! Love them. I'm amazed that you could come home right home from NC and whip them up (esp w/o Jeff around to help with Brooke). I would have been too exhausted. Looks like the shower was a complete success. Seeing pics of Brooke makes me miss her even more. It was great seeing you guys and meeting her (finally!)...we missed you that last day...and the girls really, really missed Kalyn...she was like our 4th daughter all week :) Love you guys and hope we can see you at Christmas. Hugs, Sis, Kel & Gang :)
