Many, many thanks to all the dear ladies who helped clean up! You made the load much easier!
All the lovely ladies!
After the bridal shower, we had all the friends from church over at our house for additional fellowship!
The little girls thought it was so neat how their dresses puffed up when they sat under the air conditioning register!
They also enjoyed seeing how the different dresses produced a different fluff! :)
Sweet!
