Holly's Seattle Shower

Holly's sisters, Jill and Caitlin, and her jump rope friend, Mary, gave Holly a bridal shower. We didn't want to miss it. After a busy day on Saturday, Shannon and I had a leisurely morning at the hotel and then headed over to Holly's house to go with everyone to the shower. Scott's task for the day was to work on "Thank You" cards for gifts they have already received. What a great guy!

While we were waiting, one of Jill's sweet daughters, Mataya, was hanging out with us. I was simply amazed how quickly Scott picked her up off the floor and held her. Apparently, he has found a "golf watching" buddy. She was really watching the golf match on T.V.!

Finally, time for the shower. Oh my goodness! Beautiful doesn't begin to describe her shower. The house and the setting were gorgeous. The hostess and her mother were so gracious and friendly. We felt very welcome.

Holly and her cake. It was very yummy!

Holly, Shannon and me....

We played a game to see who knew Holly best. Everyone was concentrating very hard. It turned out that Shannon knows her best! Yay, Shan! Holly's mom, Denise, is to the left in this picture. She was a very proud mom! Her flower girl is is in the purple and pink t-shirt, so cute!

It was time for Holly to open her gifts. I think the pile was as big as she was! Those are her sisters in the background. Caitlin is organizing the gifts and Jill is standing.

She received so many nice gifts. She got tons of things for the kitchen, some household items and, well, some other things. :) It was very fun. We had lots and lots of giggles!

Of course, as is tradition, one of Holly's friends made her rehearsal dinner bouquet out of all the ribbons from her gifts. She did a great job!

Jill will be the Matron of Honor in the wedding so she made a sweet toast to Holly. I think Caitlin, the Maid of Honor, gets to do the toast at the wedding. I think Jill got the easier one!

I think the shower was wonderful and am so happy that we were able to go over to Seattle for it. I am excited that the Diffees are coming over this weekend for more pre-wedding celebrations! I am most excited that Holly will soon be part of our family, officially!
