"Shower the Kitchen" - My first Shower

This weekend I was honored with my first shower. My mom's best friend, Natalie, was gracious enough to open up her home to host the event. With the help from Cheryl, Kara, Cindy, and Roger (Cindy's husband the wonderful chef) the shower was more than I could have hoped for. I had friends and family from all parts of Texas (and even a cousin from Arkansas) attend the event!

The lovely spread!

Cindy-Lou, Rodger, Cheryl, and Kara (all the Hosts except for Natalie) Natalie and my mom holding the "ball" for the game we played. Each layer contained a great face/body product for the attendees. However, before they could claim the item they had to answer a question. Some included advice for the engaged couple, embarasing things about them or testing how well they knew me! I think/hope everyone had fun!

Anxiously waiting for our turn with the "ball".

Aunt Dorris, me and Katie!

Let the gift opening begin! I received all kinds of kitchen gadgets, tools, and pots to make yummy food for my future husband, family, and friends!

Lauren (the most amazing maid of honor) doing what she does best - being organized, keeping me informed, taking notes, and looking fabulous! The cute "Just Married" bag from Mrs. Gascoyne!

Kristen, Ms. Smith, and Emily watching patiently.
Me (The "Bride"), Natalie, Mom (Mother of the Bride), Emily, Lauren (Maid of Honor), and Cheryl.
Jeff checking out all the cool stuff we were given after his long day of golf!
Thank you to everyone for coming to the party and showering me with gifts. It was great to see you all and hear how happy everyone is for us. We are so blessed and happy to share these special times with all the people we love.
