Becca is getting Married!

After a long wait my sister, Becca, is getting married. I got to throw the bridal shower, or at least one of them. It turned out really well and was fun to do. Sierra and Morgan were very big helps in getting things ready. We served chicken salad, crackers, fruit, veggies and slushy punch. We did a few games. The one I liked best was seeing how much Becca knew about Jaren. I passed out 2 pieces of candy (all her favorites) to all the guests. Then each person got 2 questions to ask her. These were questions that I had previously asked Jaren and they were all about him, like what was his favorite book. When asked a question, Becca was supposed to tell us how Jaren would answer. If she got it right she could take the guest's candy. If she got the answer wrong the guest got to keep the candy. She did pretty well, but she also learned some things about Jaren. It was really fun.
We also served these strawberry shortcake trifles.
Not only did they look pretty they were super yummy.
Becca got lots of fun gifts
including a "naughty" honeymoon basket from me! =)

Also in helping Becca get ready for her wedding, I made Mary's bridesmaid's dress. Surprisingly, it only took me about 2 weeks to do (once I got focused on it). I finished this last Saturday which is 2 weeks before the wedding. Yay me! Mary came over Sunday for the final fitting and it fit pretty well and looks really good on her. I am very glad to be done with it. Now on to refinishing my bathroom cabinets. Here are the pictures of Mary in the dress.
