The Bridal Shower

The main reason we all flew into NY was to help throw my brother David's Fiance, Kristine, a bridal shower. For the center pieces we made these cute things called Cake Pops (the directions can be found HERE), which James immediately needed to try out.

Purple is Kristine's favorite color, and it just so happens that there are some beautiful purple flowers that grow wild by the road. We picked a bunch to use at the shower. If you click on the picture you can see Amy and Nicki.

My mom did a great job with the games, and don't you love the sign Amy made that is hanging above her?

I don't think the people at our table could even concentrate on the games because they were too distracted by Cami goofing off.

These are the finished cake pops.

They were really really yummy.

Presents!

My mom made the cake, and I think she did an awesome job.

My mom, my grandma, my grandma's sister Bea, and Bea's daughter Jackie. They all look so much alike.

Kristine getting to work on opening the presents. She got lots of good stuff, including a Kitchen Aid mixer from her future sisters in law.

So that she could make Kristine this...
