 Here’s a little glimpse of yesterday’s events.  What a blessed mom I am!

Here’s my two girls….my heart is just bursting!  Little sis is maid-of-honor.

And then the bride-to-be and her really good friend and matron-of-honor.  When she prayed before we ate brunch, she choked up because they live across the street from each other and after the wedding our kids will be moving an hour and a half away so there won’t be any more late night run across the street to visit kind of times.  When she was done praying, everyone in the room was choked up. She and our other daughter were the hostesses of the shower and it was held at this dear girl’s mom’s house. 

Here’s the three girls after the shower…and they are still smiling!

And last but certainly not least…..Liz commented on the number of cars he has but this is not even close to a fraction of them.  He will sit for a long time running them down the back of a box.  At least he counts and does creative things with them.  I don’t know what he’d do without his little cars and his videotapes that he builds with!!!  Melissa, please take note of the french fry box.  lol   No skins on my fries, please!

Some funny things about the shower.  The girls worked so hard on planning it.  They had so much food that they put together themselves.  They had a wonderful brunch and then they bought this beautiful bakery cake that they FORGOT to serve!!!!!  They also had a guessing game of guess how many peanut butter cups are in the jar that they totally forgot about.  When everyone was gone, they realized they had also forgotten to have everyone fill out their thank-you card envelopes.  We just had to collapse laughing over it.

Next weekend we have our family shower, will be much smaller and more intimate.  Then we have a family shower for the groom’s side of the family.  This shower yesterday was mostly our church family.  It was so wonderful to have so many people show up. 

I have started to become an emotional basket case.  As I was driving to the shower, I realized it’s really happening and I had a little cry and then was totally pulled together when I got there.  :s  

oh…ps   We got the invitations done after the shower and Daddy got some pictures printed and all is well on that front!
