annie's family shower

so, last saturday, annie's mom and mother-in-law to be threw her a girly family shower. it was so cute! it went along with her and travis' wedding theme perfectly...classy, and all black and white.  when we first got there, i just walked around taking pictures of the decor.  the ladies (and annie's AWESOME grandma to be!) did a great job!

look at that cute lil bride!!!

yummmmmmm food set up

awesome cake!!!!

 after we got there and got settled, i took pictures of all the guests that had arrived (so far).  our little bride to be was stuck in traffic, so we got some wine and hung out for a bit.  getting to mix up the families was fun!

and then, YAY! our bride is here!

we played a couple of games, the first one about giving the bride and groom advice for a long and happy marriage. i told her "do things together, but also keep your independence. its important to have a life beyond your husband.  and be patient. living with a boy is HARD!!!"  she got some other fun ones, like her mom telling her to buy two sets of sheets, or someone (not sure who) saying to use portion control on the sexual favors.  ;)

after that game, we played a getting to know the couple game. there were 10 questions, and guess who won with a 9 out of 10?  THIS GIRL!  i know, i can't believe i missed one either. but it was a doozy! carolyn (family friend) came 2nd runner up with 6 correct.  then it was time for presents!

annie and her two moms! 

duh. 

annie's mom made her the B for mrs baker, and then travis wrote the name underneath.  ok ladies, collective "awwwwww." 

my gift hadn't arrived yet (dang you ETSY!) and so i printed a picture for her. its a Mrs. Baker hanger for her dress! 

all in all, i think annie had a fun day, got a lot of good presents (including a kitchen aid and a TV!!!) and so that's what matters.  it was her last shower, so everyone feel free to be liberal with the wedding gifts! haha.


love you stais!
