Shower Time!

Yes, it is shower time- not bath time-but wedding shower time. We had a super-great time at Heidi's Bridal Shower. Invited were many of her girlfriends, her mom and other family relatives, and my family with 2 of my neighbors, Christa and Vanessa. I think there were about 20 of us in all.

Even Heidi's dad got in the action as he came and did some video work during the party along with helping haul stuff to and from the cars. The event was held at a condo complex clubhouse and was really nice. The day was sunny and

could not have been more perfect.

Yes, we played silly games- I won none, of course. Mostly

we ate and watched Heidi open gifts. And like an amazing young woman,

the thank you notes were received within a week

of the shower. I love this gal!!

She got lots of things from her registry including a huge Kitchen Aid mixer that will last her a lifetime. He mom is a quilter and made her a beautiful blanket. It is really a piece of art. She got the usual kitchen stuff and a nice cake server for the wedding cake and wedding toasting flutes by Vera Wang. I know she loved it all and has proudly displayed it in their tiny apartment just waiting to use it!

One of the best parts of the day was a tribute to Danny Boy. I kid you not, her bridesmaids

wrote up this little poem in honor of Danny the wiener dog, added pictures to it and framed it. Then they made sugar cookies in the shape of dogs, bones, dog houses and paws. They went with little clear cellophane bags so we had actual "doggie bags" to take home. It was so very cute :). The cookies were good too! Did you know that they even had engagement pictures taken with Danny in them!

It was nice to have the family and friends come out and support her big day. I think Jay said we have about 50 some days left till the big event and we can't wait!
