Here's to the Bride-to-Be!

Yesterday was bridal-shower-day at my house!  My daughter-in-law, Monika, hosted an absolutely lovely, fun family shower for my daughter Elizabeth.  While small and intimate, the aunts, cousins and a couple of next generation babies managed to celebrate the upcoming nuptials with plenty of food, and laughter. We even managed to lose our stick-in-the-mud-no-shower-games reputation and became fully involved in a couple of fun games.

When it was finally time for gifts, Elizabeth did an excellent job of making her way through tissue paper, gift bags and a ribbon here and there.  And the pile of housewares that appeared, had me picturing her setting up her own home.  Soon!

Next step...THE WEDDING!
