Shower Fun

 Well, it's been a while since I updated the blog, hasn't it?! We have had a lot going on lately. A couple of weeks ago our dear friend Jay passed away unexpectedly. (You can read about it here.) So needless to say, we have been on the road and off our schedules quite a bit. But even in our grief, we have also had reason to celebrate as my sweet sister gets ready to be married in less than a month! The girls and I were able to travel down to Nan and Popple's house for a weekend of wedding showers!

My sister-in-love Bonnie and I hosted a lingerie shower for Jeni. Bonnie has an amazing sense of decorating and style, and since I only care about food, we were a perfect pair for cohosting a shower :)

Here are some of Bonnie's cute decorations, which she made BY HAND...

What party would be complete without Claire reaching for some food off the table?

"Cupcakes in a Jar"...

Jeni and Chelsea in a fiercely competitive round of "Pull up your pantyhose while wearing oven mitts"...

Another highlight of the weekend was seeing "Baby Justice," who is obviously not such a baby anymore!

Gigi and her nieces...

Love this kid.

Yet another great part of the weekend was being able to spend a little time with "GrandRosa", my sweet grandma, and her husband Gene. What fun it was to see them!

Here we are at the wedding shower that our home church gave. Bean couldn't make it because of work, but we enjoyed seeing his parents and sister!

2 Peas in a Pod...

Claire making Averi Kate laugh..

I am so blessed!

In a perfect ending to the weekend, we all got back to Nan and Popple's house on Sunday evening, tired and hungry. Of course, no one wanted to make the decision of what we were going to have for supper, so Popple decided to follow standard decision making protocol and flip a dollar bill.

 This is how it landed.

Oh what fun we always have at Popple and Nan's!
