Chicago Trip Part 2: Jenn & Jeff's Shower

Saturday, the day of the shower, finally came around.

This was all of the stuff we needed to take not including food and flowers.

This is what the room looked like when we arrived.



The tables after we'd worked our magic!

Getting the dessert buffet ready

Mom and Sue made the cupcakes the night before. Don't they look great!?!

I think this was a great picture of the three of us!

Mom thought the Diet Pepsi pitcher was her cup

Then everyone started to arrive!






This table had Jeff & Jenn's relative's wedding pictures. It looked really great!


Salad

The main course

My dessert plate

Aunt Helen's dessert plate






Jenn and her bridesmaids

Jenn and her mom

The gifts

The beginning of the gift opening

Jeff and Andy ate a little lunch at the beginning of the gift opening

Mom and Sue read advice for Jenn between opening each gift

Jenn was pretty handy with a pocket knife

Aunt Helen and Connie had four bingo sheets between them. (They played mom's and mine for us)

They were really into it!



His and Hers matching aprons

Everyone thought the shredder was hilarious!

Jenn's bouquet of ribbons

Aren't they cute!

Packing it all up


Jeff and Jenn holding one of the centerpieces

They needed Jeff's whole truck and backseat to carry all of the presents!

After the shower we took the gifts back to Jeff and Jenn's place, then headed home. The power was out for about an hour and a half, but it came back on with plenty of time to make dinner, which Jeff and Jenn came over for. It was a great day!

It's nice they have so much support! The cupcakes look delicious too.
