What a great day today was, being surrounded by so many members of our wonderful families (including the Evanses!), catching up, having fun, eating great food, and of course helping Kris and Sam set up their new home. Thank you so much to everyone who came! Here are some photos of Kristi's day.
Tulips graced the main table; they just happen to match Kris and Sam's wedding flowers.
We had lots of delicious things to eat, including some beautiful champagne fruit cups that Amy made.
And mimosas; lots of mimosas.
The mother of the bride downed several of them.
Just kidding! Seriously, though, Pam's house was the perfect spot for hosting the shower. Here she is with Jordan, Kristi's maid of honor (and friend since we moved to Omaha!).
Ann Marie was responsible for organizing the whole thing, which is tremendously impressive, considering she hosted another big party for Chad and Meredith's birthdays a mere 5 hours later. (Superwoman, I'm telling ya.)
Amy also helped put this thing together, and, as always, she had Meredith by her side almost the entire time.
Except, that is, when Kristi wanted a photo with the most adorable flower girl St. John's will ever see!
And speaking of girls, here are some of Kristi's best, and oldest, girlfriends. (Left to right, Jordan, Kristi, Caela, and Allison.)
It was great to have so many mother/daughter combos here, too, including Kim and Steph:
And Barb and Mary:
Katie and Elizabeth:
(And a bonus photo of Elizabeth, because she is so darn cute:)
And Anna and Maria:
And even though she doesn't have a daughter, here's a photo of the ridiculously beautiful Debbie:
Everyone was so generous with their gifts for Kristi and Sam:
And the shower ended on a high note, because we each got to take home a beautiful cookie made by Jordan's aunt.
Thanks so much to everyone who came. We really missed those who couldn't make it!
Can't wait to see everyone at the wedding!
