Christmas Shower

Hannah and I went to a wedding shower for a young lady in our church tonight. She is marrying our Associate Pastor's son, Jonathan, who is finishing up his last year at Crown College in Tennessee. Jennifer is just one of the sweetest young ladies we know and we're so excited about the upcoming wedding. The wedding is set for September of next year. But the showers and fun have already begun! And it was so much fun. Of course the theme for tonight was Christmas. Everything Jennifer received was a Christmas decoration for her and Jonathan's first Christmas together as husband and wife.

The shower was held at Susan McCurry's home and hosted by Susan and LeAnna.

Jen made these cookies. Notice the Mr. and Mrs. cookies? Ain't that sweet?


Susan and Vondie made punch. Which, by the way, if you like cream sicles, you'll love this punch. Orange soda, sweetened condenses milk, and pineapple juice. To be honest, I think it would have been good even without the pineapple juice, but the juice gave it that punch kick. Very good and very festive. You could do this with any fruity flavor of soda and it would be good.


Susan has five trees in her home. I got pictures of three of them. Two you've already seen in the background of other pics. This one is in their music room. They have one upstairs in the gameroom and one in their bedroom. They're all so pretty. I collect nativities....she collects Christmas trees. hehehe

Oh, that's lovely


The gifts...Woo Hoo!











There was an embarassing moment, but I promised Jennifer I wouldn't blog about it. I didn't promise I wouldn't share the picture. :) Love you, Jen!


We had such a great time. As I watched her eyes light up as she pulled gifts from their bags and wrapping, I couldn't help but smile at the feeling of joy she'll feel next year as she pulls these things from storage to decorate her little nest for their first Christmas.
