I have a favorite sister. Actually she is my only sister and I LOVE her dearly. She is my best girlfriend and she knows me better than anyone, except my husband. She is so lovely. She is beautiful, caring, a friend to many, a loving and fun Aunt, a good listener, someone I love to laugh with, and a person I am glad I will forever have on my team and as my best friend. Lindsee, I love you, and I am so happy that I could plan a fun wedding shower for you and share a fun evening with some of our relatives and forever family friends at our parents house.
Our Dad, being the fabulous woodworker that he is made this amazing cupcake stand for us out of old barn wood and aspen logs from around our family cabin in Colorado. Then he wood-burned the E+L inside a heart onto a little piece of wood and attached it to the tallest aspen log. SO CUTE!
Below was our shower snack table ~ Vegan cupcakes, veggies and dips, and rainbow fruit kabobs.
Sarah, Phoebe, and I had a good time making the fruit kabobs. The girls were each in charge of handing me certain fruits in order to put on each stick. We made 60 kabobs and placed them into blue mason jars to display them on the table and to eat later. They turned out beautiful.
And below are most of the men who came with their wives to the shower. They actually didn't stay at the shower, just gathered there to begin with, then headed over to a friend's house to eat desserts and play cards. Pictured left to right: Myron, Paul, Charles, Duane, Dan, and Ernie.
Below is Lindsee and all of the lovely ladies who helped put together and give the shower to her. Pictured left to right: Judy, Stacee, Lindsee, Phoebe, Sarah, Anne, Wyonna, Jan, and Gloria
Other guests included: Debbie S, Melody S, Heather H, Cindy and Kathryn K, Patti M, Jeline H, Shirley M, Marcia S, Jessica H, Johannah H, Vicki R, Clara Z, Matt H, Karen M, and Melissa M.
We played one game, "Who Knows The Bride Best?" It was a lot of fun. Each guest had to answer 32 questions all about Lindsee. The person who got the most right got 15 correct answers. Phoebe and Sarah even participated in this game. Sarah had written an answer next to each question and was very eager to share every single answer out loud with everyone. It was pretty adorable. Phoebe had a page full of pretend cursive scribble marks, which took a lot of her concentration to get done. She was very serious about getting her page filled up with writing.
Lindsee got some great gifts too. It was fun to be together with this great group of longtime friends and share stories and laughter.
Each guest at the shower used a permanent black fabric marker to write their marriage advice or words of congratulations on a grey block of fabric to Lindsee and Eric Paul. I will take these and sew them into a quilt for Lindsee and EP to have as a wedding memory keepsake.
We all LOVE YOU Lindsee! And, we are all excited for you and Eric's wedding this fall.
