Wedding Bells Are Ringing

Yesterday I had the honor of hosting a bridal shower for my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Kelly! This day was scheduled and coordinated originally by my mom. Mom picked the date, booked the location, chose the menu, and made the guest list. In February, I took over the planning. I sent out invitations, made the favors, ordered a cake, and put together a traditional silly shower game. Most of you know that this type of planning is right up my alley! However, this time things were different. I didn't have Mom. She of course insisted that the "show must go on" and so it did, beautifully. Although she wasn't there physically, we all felt her presence. We had a wonderful afternoon celebrating the love between my big brother Keith and his beloved Kelly.

Sloane enjoyed being part of the "girls only" party.

We had to get a picture of the cake before Sloane got her fingers in it! Sloane took the first piece and enjoyed every bite!

All smiles for cousin Katie and Ellie.

I am hoping that Ellie catches the bouquet at the wedding :-) A special mirror from Mom! She always planned ahead! Awwww... Sleeper Est. 2011
