Bug's future mother-in-law and I co-hosted a shower at their church a few Sundays ago. It was small and sweet and we had a wonderful time! We got a few pictures before it started.
Sisters
Plus their bonus sister, R. :)
Bug and her friend C
I can't believe my first baby is leaving the nest and starting her own family! Love this girl so much!!
Noni and the bride to be.
Mama and Grandma both came even though it was quite a drive! So thankful to get to celebrate this momentous occasion with them!
We had snacky foods and a caramel apple bar!
And we had to make Noni's yummy Cow Catcher Punch.
Several of Bug's friends came.
These two had a ball!
We also met some of the sweet ladies that go to this church.
Ms. K had a game with a funny story about "Mr. and Mrs. Right" and each time she said right in the story we had to pass the present to the right and same for left. The person with the bag at the end got to open it.
Peaches won our table's!
We also played a fun game where we had to answer questions about Bug and F like how long they've been together and where he proposed, etc.
Then she opened all the presents.
She got so many wonderful gifts! Too many to list but I'll try to remember a few. Grandma gave her a clothes steamer...she uses mine all the time so I know she will get a lot of use out of it!
Auntie Nae gave her a super soft robe and pajama set.
Aunt M got her the set of serving spoons she wanted.
Grandma R made her this beautiful table runner.
Noni and Papa bought her custom Converse to wear at the wedding! She'd really been wanting them, but didn't want to spend the money even though finding wedding shoes has been terrible due to her wide feet. Noni and Papa spoiled her and she was so excited!
Noni also gave her their wedding gift early...
A beautiful handmade quilt!! Noni did a fabulous job with lots of special and meaningful touches to make it their own including little planes on one of the fabrics and a world map on another to represent their desire to go on the mission field! What a treasure!
Grandma and Auntie Nae also gave their wedding gift early...a beautiful set of pots and pans that she'd listed on her registry! These will be well used!
Lou and Peaches did a wonderful job helping bring her the presents to open. :)
After she finished Ms. K said some sweet things about her to welcome her into their family.
We told the girls about the tradition to make a bouquet out of the present ribbons to be used at the rehearsal dinner. Boo, Peanut, and R made it for her while she unwrapped.
The last "game" was to decorate sugar cookies shaped like wedding dresses and then Bug got to pick her favorite one.
Bug's friend L won the game.
I grabbed this picture before A left, one of her other bridesmaids.
It was such a sweet celebration of our Buggy girl! We are so blessed to have had 18 wonderful years with her and now we get a son-in-law! We pray that they have many MANY blessed and joyful years together building a marriage and a life that is honoring to the Lord. We can't wait to see what He has in store for them!
