Alison’s Bridal Shower

Tonight Liz & Liberty came over for dinner.  It was the first time I’ve used the table I got on craigslist, and I LOVE it!  We are all laughing so hard b/c we were trying to get Autumn to put her head up so we could take the picture.  Mom said to her, “Autumn, where’s Papa?”  Autumn’s head popped up so fast, she looked around, realized he wasn’t there, and put her head back down before the flash could go off, so we got a picture of her w/ her head down.  What a little pill!

Liz & I headed over to Alison’s bridal shower.  We were stuffed w/ brown rice and chicken from dinner, but that didn’t stop us from eating some of this yummy food.

After we all stuffed ourselves, we played this fun game.  On the left were some cards w/ different sayings on them.  And then on the right hand side were the candy bars that matched the saying on the card.  For example one card said, “Braulio’s face when anyone mentions the wedding night.”  And the candy that went w/ that was Big Red. It was a really cute and fun game.

Then we played a game where Xela (Alison’s sister) asked her questions about Braulio.  If the answer that Alison gave her was different than the answer Braulio had given, she had to put a big marshmallow in her mouth.  It was so funny, b/c she had so many in her mouth she couldn’t even talk and we made her wear a bib so she wouldn’t drool all over.  We were all laughing so hard and it was so much fun.

Xela had us all bring her one of our favorite recipes and something you use to make the recipe (like a pan or utensils, etc).  I’m going to have to get a copy of those recipes, b/c they all sounded so good.  Then it was time to open gifts.  She got this cool magnetic board that someone had made themselves and painted.  It was awesome.  I am so glad I went and I had a wonderful time.  I’m so happy for her and Braulio.  She’s been through some hard things in her life, so I’m glad she’s found an amazing man that will treat her the way she deserves to be treated.
