bridal shower pictures part 1

hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend as much as we did!  after catching up on some much needed sleep we headed back to the zoo saturday evening and i got the royal treatment at my bridal shower on sunday.  after hugging friends old and new, drowning in gifts, and basking in the absolutely perfect weather we finished up the weekend back home trying to get organized for the coming weeks.

i will post more photos once i get the ones my sister shot off my camera, but for now here are the highlights that i stole from my mom's facebook page.

sarah's bridal shower!

i stole some photos off my madre's facebook of my pretty sister's bridal shower last weekend!  my aunt hosted the party at the cutest little tea house and we all got to eat yummy finger sandwiches and played a few games before sarah opened her new kitchen.

i say this because that girl is stocked with kitchen wares now!  if anybody is looking to have a tea party in michigan, i'd highly recommend sweet afton's tea room in plymouth.  it was adorable and delicious!

as maid of honor, i enjoyed the duty of making some bizarre bouquet of bows that really looked more like a hot mess of purple and orange tulle.  my on-the-fly repurposing DIY bouquet skills might not be top notch.  oh well.  maybe it'll get spruced up a little before the rehearsal dinner.

since the shower was near ann arbor, sarah and dave stayed with me steve and bert and even though it was a little tight in our one bedroom apartment (it may have inspired us to add a new air mattress to our wedding registry) we miss you guys already!!  hoepfully we'll be making our way closer to the west coast asap!

happy friday everybody!
