girl's trip, part 4

After church on Sunday, we were

 invited to have lunch

 at the home of my son's

 "soon-to-be" in-laws.

They have a lovely home and

 they were very gracious.

 While we were waiting on the burgers

 to grill, the grandgirlies and their aunt

had fun with a couple of iPads!

The happy couple!

 After lunch, it was off to a wedding shower...

where gifts were waiting!

The hostess went "all out" to make

 things special!

The theme was birds.

Isn't the banner cute? 

And the black and white photos

backed with the pink paper were, too!

Don't they look happy?

God is so good!

Pretty and delicious cake... 

...it's not a party without m&ms... 

...more birds and their initials...
B for him, M for her. 

They had fun opening gifts...

And we had fun watching them!

 The lady in pink is the bride's mother.

They are going to use this at the wedding.

 Instead of a book, guests will sign

 their monogram! Neat idea!

The lady in red was our hostess...

very generous and kind.

I had never met her before, but I recognized

 immediately the sweet spirit in her.... 

gentle and sincere.

So grateful our son and "almost" daughter

 have friends like her! 

This is how thoughtful she was...

there were toys for the children!

And they were a hit!

It was a special time...our girl's trip.

We had fun shopping and laughing and

spending time with family.

It may be a while, but I think we will do it again! :-)
