Shower time

This past week, my 2 sister-in-laws and I had a bridal shower for Bobs nephew Christopher's, girlfriend. Chris and Trisha are getting married in the beginning of August, so we thought we'd have the shower before she was too busy.
 Bob's mom arranged for us to use a room at the independent living facility she lives at.  The room was really nice and no one had to worry about getting their house ready.  :)

 

(my girls)

We started  the evening with a little laugh, when Laura and Heather both arrived wearing khaki capri's and a navy top.  My sisters and I have been teased for doing the same thing, so we told Laura and Heather they were taking after me.

We started with supper; chicken salad croissants, fruit salad, veggies and dip and this yummy cake.

 

Here's a few guests from left to right:

Laura, niece Alicia, Bob's sister Karla, Mom and his sister Diane

Of course there were gifts to open!

And games to play...

You can see that there were a few people that got a lot of candy.  That was from this game:

This was a memory game. These squares were covered by numbered post-it notes.  People had to choose 2 squares, trying to match a phrase with a candy.  If they got it right they got the candy.  Some examples of match ups:  Airheads - bridesmaids, Lifesavers - parents, Nerds - in-laws, Sweet Tarts - bride and groom, Baby Ruth - something we'll all be waiting for...   It was a fun game.

Here's Tricia with a picture of Chris - she was trying to make a face to match his.  :)

This was another game.  Each person was given a sealed envelope when they arrived.  They all opened them together.  Each one had a picture of some famous man, but one had this picture of the groom.  The envelope with the groom was the winner. 

It was a fun night and we're all looking forward to the wedding in August.
