The banquet room had mirrors all over the walls, and of course all the little girls loved it because they could watch themselves!

Mumzie cleaning up. Thank you!
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!

Many thanks to everyone who helped us that evening, and to the ladies who took the majority of those pictures, Miss B. and Mrs. A.!

  1. Wow... ~S~, that picture of you is certainly good payback for everyone else you've been picking on. :P Lemme guess... there are gonna be a few "interesting" pictures of me looking weird in an upcoming post? :D

    So you had everyone from church over to your house? That had to be really cramped. :P

    Don't worry, there are no "interesting" photos of you in an upcoming post :)
    Having everyone at our house made it cozy, not necessarily cramped :) You have to rememebr that when all the ladies were over, there was not a huge stack of bridal shower gifts in the middle of our living room, as there was when you saw it :)

    Miss Carey and Squirrely #3,
    CAN'T WAIT to see you!!
