Molly's Family Bridal Shower

Saturday morning, May 8th, we enjoyed watching these three munchkins play together. Jay was especially great with baby Sarah (giving this Mom some hope that he'll be sweet and good to his new baby brother in about a month).

Jay giving baby Sarah a kiss while she got in some tummy time.
The five of us ladies, (back row left to right) bridesmaid Debbie from Oregon, cousin Amy, myself, sister-in-law Mandy, and cousin Alisha hosted a salad luncheon bridal shower Saturday afternoon to celebrate my sister's upcoming wedding.
Punch, water, coffee and tea table with a beautiful floral bouquet leftover from Grandma's memorial service the day before.
The food table...8 varying salads, a meat and cheese tray, and Mom's homemade crescent rolls.
The gift table
Here is the display table with what now will be Molly's wedding china that Grandma Dorothy bought/used, along with fiancee Scott's family's tartan/kilt, family coat of arms, and family crest.
Christina lived with our family for several years in highschool. It was good to see her and we snapped this picture of the three of us together.

Pictured a bit later is the head table at which Mom, Molly, and Grandma Alma sat. Grandma Alma lovingly provided the floral basket centerpiece for the head table and the floral corsage that Molly wore.

After lunch I shared a short devotion for Molly. This picture was taken just after I finished my "speech."
Cousin Alisha organized a fun little game followed by us hostesses serving angel food cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream on top. M-m-m! Then the gift opening began!



As you can see, she had lots of little girls "helping" out.


Here is Aunt Mary Kaye explaining to Molly a few things about her new Bosch mixer. Lots of family members went in together to purchase a new one for her. (This is somewhat of a tradition in our family - getting a new Bosch mixer to use in our new family homes, I mean. We love our Bosch mixers!)
A quick family photo - me and sister-in-law Mandy in back row; Mom, Molly, and Grandma Alma seated in front.
And I'll end this post with a montage of pictures of a tender moment exchanged between Mom and daughter following the conclusion of the bridal shower.


Molly, we are so happy for you and are so looking forward to taking part in your special wedding day in July! Love you!
