A Tropical Shower

In mid-October, I went back home to Virginia to attend a bridal shower that my sisters hosted for me. It was a tropical themed shower.

It was by far the most beautiful and elegant shower I have ever attended!!

Miss Rachel made this delicious looking towel cake.

Jul and L. did such a lovely job on the table decorations!

Peewee, Sally, Rachel, Miriam, and Katie all helped put together this delicious buffet of food!

Miss Rachel made these delicious cookies! (The "W" signifies my last name to be.)

Thanks to all of my sisters, the decorations and food for the Tropical Shower were beautiful as well as delicious!!! There were also other people there besides myself to enjoy this lovely event:

Some good friends and former co-workers, Aunt Ruthie, Joy, and Brenda.

My paternal Grandma and Great-Aunt Kathleen.

Two of my neices, Hannah and Marie.

My neice, Susannah, and my sister, Katie.

The youngest attendees were my neices Sylvia and Rachel.

Thanks to everyone there, I got some great gifts, however not all of them will be shown nor mentioned for modesty's sake.

L. made this lovely card basket for me to use at my receptions.

My family all got together and gave me a high-quality, stainless steel cooking set.

This would be the when the un-pictured gifts were opened.
My poor nephew, Sam, was just there to enjoy the food and blow out the candles at the end of the party, but I do believe he was scarred for life.

Hannah is signing my wedding scrapbook that my future mother-in-law gave to me.

My sister, L., came up to help with, and attend, the party. That was a surprise to me, as she did not tell anyone that she was coming.

At the end of an evening which set me well on the way to being a married woman.
