Last weekend, my mom and I made the trip down to Houston for Holly's first bridal shower.
Suzanne and Diane {my dad's cousins} were the hostesses, and everything was beautiful.
All of the food was so good...
...and the cake was both delicious AND beautiful.
Diane has always been such a good cake baker and decorator {she made the cake for our wedding, and people STILL talk about how good it was}, but rumor has it that Katie {my dad's other cousin's daughter and Diane's best helper} made this one. Amazing, huh?
Lexi and Laynie were such great hostesses, too -- especially when it came to making sure that our drinks were filled.
We had such a great time seeing and catching up with so many people that we don't get to see nearly enough -- Holly, Leanne {Nelson's sister}, and Irene {Nelson's cousin}.
Holly and my mom with their college roommates -- Sally and Melanie.
Ling {Nelson's mom}, Chrys {Nelson's parents' neighbor}, and Holly.
Patty and Valerie.
Grandma and Aunt Ellen.
Holly received so many wonderful gifts, too -- including a really pretty monogrammed cake server set.
After some thought, I ended up getting her an ice cream scoop and a pizza pan/slicer. My hope is that she'll remember just how much I love her every time she uses them, and because I know just how much they love ice cream and pizza, her favorite big sister should come to mind often. ;)
A beautiful bride -- from head to toe.
After the shower and before heading back to Austin, we went over to Nelson's parents' house and then out for dim sum. The food was so good, and we had a great time with Nelson's family. When we got home that night, I crashed. It had been a very long day, but it was lot of fun, too.
Happy 1st Bridal Shower, Holly. I love you and am so glad that I get to experience all of these fun things with you. :)
