I’m absolutely in love with the decision Steve and I made to be married the week before Christmas…because that means I get to do fun things like this…
My mother and sister, Michelle, hosted the coolest Christmasy-themed kitchen bridal shower for me this weekend. I had so much fun visiting with everyone who came. Michelle made the yummiest cheese fondue, complete with dipping breads and pretzels. She always has the most delicious fondue recipes, mmmmm! My mom made her traditional Christmas cheese-ball served with gourmet crackers. I LOVE her cheese-ball, it reminds me of our family Christmas Eve parties we have every year. After visiting with each other and sampling the yummy food, we played a fun game guessing the names of different spices. I’ve got to admit, it was tough…there were several seasoned cooks in the bunch…Steve’s mom, LaRee, was the winner with 9 out of 10 right. Wow, it’s no wonder her food always tastes soooo good!
Mom and Michelle hung cute little Christmas cookie cutters on a small tree, which doubled as decorations and party favors for each guest to take home with them. How fun! And instead of wearing the traditional “Bride-to-Be” crown throughout my shower, mom gave me this cute little Santa hat to wear! How fun is that!
I want to send a HUGE thank you to Mom and Michelle for all the work they put into planning my bridal shower. I know I had an absolute blast, and I think it turned out to be a huge success…I don’t think we’ve ever had that many people in our living room at one time, ever! And thank you to everyone who came and shared in the excitement with us. I have the best friends, family, and family-to-be ever! I feel so lucky to have such awesome people in my life, thank you!
Here are a few photos Michelle snapped of the decorations and the festivities…
